Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Grayson Allen scored 27 points in his return and Jalen Green made up for a miserable shooting night with a game-winning 3-pointer at the final buzzer as the host Phoenix Suns overcame an injury to Dillon Books in a 113-110 double overtime victory over the Orlando Magic on Saturday.
Collin Gillespie added 19 points, and the Suns blew an 11-point fourth quarter lead before Green took over. Green countered Jevon Carter’s game-tying 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds remaining with just his second three of the game to beat the buzzer.
Green, who was 6 of 26 from the field, scored the Suns’ final six points and gave them a 110-107 lead on a driving left-handed layup with 33.9 seconds remaining.
Desmond Bane scored 34 points before fouling out in overtime, Paolo Banchero scored 26 and Jevon Carter had 15 points for the Magic, who made 10 of 39 3-pointers after hitting a franchise record 27 in a victory over Sacramento on Thursday.
Banchero had 14 rebounds and eight assists.
Jordan Goodwin scored 17 points before leaving with an apparent injury in the fourth quarter for the Suns, who had lost four of five.
Orlando opted not to foul with the Suns holding a 110-107 lead late in the second overtime, and the Suns turned the ball over on a shot clock violation to give the Magic a chance.
The Magic ended regulation on a 16-5 run to force overtime after Goodwin’s 3-pointer gave the Suns their first double-digit lead, 91-80, with 7:37 remaining.
Allen, who missed the previous four games with a knee injury, was 8 of 22 from the field and made 4 of 14 3-pointers.
The Suns were 16 of 55 from distance (29.1%) while playing without Devin Booker, who suffered a hip injury in a 121-94 loss to San Antonio on Thursday and will be reevaluated in a week, the Suns said.
Brooks left with 4:46 remaining in the first quarter with a left hand injury and did not return. He did not play in a loss at San Antonio on Thursday while serving a one-game suspension.
Anthony Black had 10 points and Wendell Carter Jr. had 11 rebounds for the Magic, who will conclude a four-game road in Los Angeles against the Clippers and Lakers.

Apr 4, 2026; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Logan Henderson (43) pitches during the first inning against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Mandatory Credit: William Purnell-Imagn Images The Milwaukee Brewers recalled right-handed pitcher Logan Henderson from Triple-A Nashville and announced him as the starter for their Sunday afternoon road game against the Washington Nationals.
Henderson, 24, will be inserted into the lineup immediately, starting on the mound for the Brewers. Milwaukee has won five of its past six games.
Ranked as the No. 6 prospect and the top pitcher in the Brewers’ system by MLB Pipeline, Henderson will be making his second big league start of the season on Sunday.
He is 1-0 with a 9.00 ERA in one appearance. He gave up two runs on three hits in two innings as an opener in an 8-2 loss to the Kansas City Royals on April 4.
Last season, Henderson started five games for the Brewers and was 3-0 with a 1.78 ERA.
In five games (three starts) for Nashville this season, Henderson is 2-0 with a 1.02 ERA. He has struck out 26 batters in 17 2/3 innings.
In a corresponding move, the Brewers sent right-hander Easton McGee, 28, to Nashville. He pitched two innings of relief this season in two games and allowed just one base hit.
Washington left-hander Peter Poulin (2-0, 4.11 ERA) will oppose McGee in the series finale.

Raptors' Brandon Ingram in walking boot ahead of Game 7
Apr 26, 2026; Toronto, Ontario, CAN; Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram (3) shoots the ball as Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (31) defends during game four of the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Scotiabank Arena. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram was seen in a walking boot during the team’s shootaround on Sunday morning, several hours before Game 7 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the host Cleveland Cavaliers.
Ingram is listed as questionable to play in the game due to right heel inflammation.
An All-Star this season for the second time in his career, Ingram was limited to 11 minutes and scored one point in Toronto’s 125-120 setback to Cleveland in Game 5 on Wednesday. He did not play in Toronto’s 112-110 overtime victory in Game 6 on Friday.
During the regular season, the 28-year-old Ingram averaged a team-high 21.5 points over 77 games. He also averaged 5.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists and drilled 38.2% of his 3-point attempts.

76ers' Joel Embiid to home fans: 'Don't sell your tickets'
May 2, 2024; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; New York Knicks guard Josh Hart (3) scores a three pointer against the Philadelphia 76ers with 25 seconds to go in game six of the first round for the 2024 NBA playoffs at Wells Fargo Center. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images It’s just a little more than 100 miles from Madison Square Garden in New York to Xfinity Mobile Arena in South Philadelphia — a relatively short car ride or train trip for Knicks fans who wanted to see their team in action against the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
But 76ers star Joel Embiid, who was the NBA’s Most Valuable Player and a first-team All-Pro selection in the 2022-23 season, wants no part of Knicks fans invading his team’s home arena.
In his postgame interview Saturday night after the Sixers stunned the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of their series to advance, he put 76ers fans on notice.
Don’t sell your playoff tickets — especially not to Knicks fans.
New Yorkers overtook the Philadelphia arena two years ago when the No. 2-seeded Knicks eliminated the No. 7 Sixers in the opening round of the postseason. It has been presumed that Knicks fans bought their tickets from 76ers fans.
“I just have a message for our fans,” Embiid said Saturday night. “Last time we played the Knicks, it felt like [Philadelphia] was Madison Square Garden East. We’re going to need the support.
“Don’t sell your tickets. This is bigger than you. We need you guys.”
Embiid offered a solution, if need be.
“Knicks fans travel — they buy tickets,” he said. “There’s going to be people who will sell the tickets because they need the money. Don’t do it, we need you guys. We need the support, and we need them to be extremely loud. If you need money, I’ve got you.”
The Eastern Conference semifinal between the teams begins Monday in New York, with Game 2 set for Wednesday. The series will move to Philadelphia on Friday for Game 3, followed by Game 4 on Saturday.
The Knicks defeated the Atlanta Hawks in six games to advance.
