Damion Lee is still out of action after having his right meniscus surgery.

Nurkic was earlier classified as doubtful due to left calf pain.

This season, the Bosnian big man has averaged 11.2 points, 11 rebounds, 3.8 assists, one steal, and one block per game. Nurkic has missed just five games this season. Phoenix is 1-4 without him, with three of the losses being by double digits.

Allen, meanwhile, was originally classified as probable due to left hip pain. He missed Wednesday’s game against the Cavaliers, but he has only missed seven games with the Suns, starting all 69 of them.

Allen leads the league in three-point shooting (46.9%), averaging 13.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.

The Timberwolves will be without Karl-Anthony Towns on Friday. Towns has been out since March 12, when he underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee.

Phoenix sits sixth in the Western Conference rankings and is hoping to avoid a play-in. Minnesota is the conference’s top seed, with a 53-23 record.
