Stanford junior guard Marcus Allen will be out an indefinite period as a result of a stress fracture in his right foot, The Chronicle learned Monday.

Allen started 23 starts as a sophomore, averaging 6.4 points and 3.5 rebounds. In the Cardinal’s run to the NIT championship, he averaged 11.4 points and 5.4 rebounds. He is expected to start again this season, but when he’ll return to action is up in the air.

His twin, Malcolm, redshirted last season because of a broken wrist.

Stanford opens the season at home against Wisconsin-Green Bay on Nov. 13.
