Lavoy Allen admitted he "didn't have a really good year" during his sophomore season.
Allen had his first child three days into training camp which may have had an impact on him throughout the season. "Up and down," Allen added. He averaged 5.8 points and 5.0 rebounds, but he drew consistent ire from Doug Collins for not playing with the aggression he needed to. He's under contract for $3.1 million next season.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

Doug Collins wants Lavoy Allen to play "with motor."

"We need him. Our big guys are so important to us. He can shoot. He has a good feel for the game. With Lavoy, it's never just about the talent." This is the umpteenth time Collins has made a comment like this about Allen, who promised to be "more focused" and to get in "better shape" for next season.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

Doug Collins praised Lavoy Allen for his energy and hustle in recent games.

"I expected more out of Lavoy this year because of the way he finished [last season]," said Collins. "I tell [Allen and rookie Arnett Moultrie] to watch a guy like [Kenneth] Faried from Denver and look at a tape of him and how he runs the floor every possession." The Manimal's energy is a high bar for any big man, but it's nice to see Allen ending the season on a high note.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

LaVoy Allen suffered a right ankle sprain and is expected to return to Friday's game.

He got his ankle re-taped and we'll see how it responds for the rest of the game. Allen has played 16.9 minutes per game in the last 10 games and doesn't have much fantasy value while Spencer Hawes is playing well.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

The 76ers won in Sacramento with a boost from Lavoy Allen, who scored a season-high 20 points off the bench on 9-of-13 shooting, with seven rebounds and one assist.

Just how unexpected was Allen's outburst? He was averaging 0.6 points in his previous three games and hadn't scored more than five points in a game all month. The Sixers had a ridiculous 96 shot attempts vs. the Kings tonight, on their way to 117 points, and this has all the makings of a fluke.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

Lavoy Allen had eight points, six rebounds, a steal and two blocks on Wednesday, but was benched to start the second half in favor of Damien Wilkins.

Wilkins played 26 minutes and had 13 points, three rebounds and two assists, while Spencer Hawes was also benched after the Sixers were dominated by the Minnesota bigs. Allen has been filling in for injured Thaddeus Young, but he's due back soon and Allen's run, what little of it there was, is almost over.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

Lavoy Allen played 29 minutes against the Clippers on Monday and had four points, two rebounds and one steal.

He exploded on Saturday with 14 points and 22 boards, but there's little doubt that will be his best line of the year. Allen should be better his next time out and he had a really tough matchup with the Clippers big men putting a highlight reel together. Those that picked him up on deeper leagues shouldn't make any hasty cuts at this time.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

Lavoy Allen scored 14 points and grabbed a career-high 22 rebounds (11 on the offensive glass) while starting alongside Spencer Hawes on Saturday.

Allen also had three assists, one block and only one assist in over 41 minutes. Keep in mind, however, that this came against the Bobcats' woeful frontcourt, and Allen's 32-game sample as a starter this season is unimpressive -- 6.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.8 blocks in 25 minutes per game. Andrew Bynum's possible return by the end of February may squash Allen's upside, but deep-league owners should pick him up and see what happens.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

Lavoy Allen is expected to start next to Spencer Hawes on Saturday.

It's not really a surprise with Kwame Brown starting in Philly's last game on Wednesday and only playing six minutes. Allen came off the bench and played 35 minutes, scoring 12 points with six boards against a good Indiana team. He's also been better at blocking shots this year with 0.9 per game in only 22.1 minutes, so he is worth a look in deeper leagues. As for Kwame, he can be let loose in 40-team formats.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

Lavoy Allen had 12 points, six rebounds, a steal and a block in 35 minutes on Wednesday.

Thaddeus Young is going to miss a few weeks due to his hamstring injury and Allen will be a primary beneficiary. He's worth a look in many leagues and has somehow managed to score in double figures in three of his last four games.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

Lavoy Allen is expected to see more minutes with Thaddeus Young (hamstring) sidelined.

"Lavoy’s been very actively, defensively," Doug Collins said. "He’s getting to the right spots, rebounding the ball and looking to be aggressive on the offensive end." Allen played 30 minutes in the game where Young went down, scoring 10 points to pair with six rebounds, a steal and three blocks.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

Lavoy Allen had 10 points, six rebounds, one steal and three blocks on Monday, logging 30 minutes off the bench.

Allen stepped into a bigger role after halftime due to Thaddeus Young's hamstring injury, and he may continue to play heavy minutes with Young possibly facing an extended absence. Though intriguing in deep leagues, his numbers in 32 starts this season are unimpressive -- 6.8 points, 5.7 boards, 1.0 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.8 blocks in 25 minutes per game.

Lavoy Allen is expected to be available Wednesday night despite receiving seven stitches in his upper lip Monday night.

Allen's already limited fantasy value sank even further when he was replaced in the starting lineup by Spencer Hawes, With Andrew Bynum (knees) on the comeback trail, there may not be any minutes left for him.

Lavoy Allen - F/C - 76ers

Lavoy Allen will continue to be a member of the starting lineup.

Doug Collins believes Allen isn't as effective coming off the bench, so he'll keep him in the starting lineup. If and when Andrew Bynum ever gets healthy, Allen would likely move to power forward, but Bynum remains without a timetable to return.
