Allen won't play Tuesday against the Pelicans due to a left knee injury, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

The nature of Allen's injury hasn't been revealed, but it's likely the 35-year-old is battling some routine soreness. He's played in the Pelicans' last 13 contests and logged 31 minutes, his highest total in nearly two months, Saturday against the Spurs. In Allen's absence, expect either James Ennis or Troy Daniels to pick up the start at shooting guard, though both players should be in line for more playing time than usual.
