Help with Tony's ankle

This is the best link that I can find on the topic and it predates the Magic game. I missed last night's pregame show.
I'm pretty impressed that we beat the Blazers easily w/o him and with Pierce having another rough offensive night. Can anyone give me an update on my fav. bench player?

Tony Allen doubtful
Rivers said guard Tony Allen (sprained right ankle) is doubtful for tomorrow against the Pacers.

"He hasn't done anything, so I doubt even Sunday," Rivers said. "If he's not 100 percent, or really close to it, I look at it as - we play Sunday and we have three days off, so he would have to be very well for me to play him on Sunday."

Said Allen, "My ankle feels all right. It's a little sore, but I'm going to get through it. Sunday, that's what it looks like. Calf raises, a lot of foot exercises. A lot of massage and ice. I haven't done anything on the court. I jumped on it and whatever. [Today] will be the day where I finally shoot some shots. The swelling has gone down a lot.

"There is nothing good about missing a game. But I can sit back and see some of the mistakes that we do as a team. And when I come back, I can look at those mistakes, and when I'm in those situations, I can do the opposite."

He thinks he can play on Sunday, Doc doesn't think so.

I dunno about Pierce's rough night. I think he is content to just coast on O and try to set other people up if the team is leading. I always get the feeling he could turn it on if needed.
