Stanford Alum Now Dominating G League with 21.5 PPG After Lymphoma Recovery
Marcus Allen, a Stanford Cardinal guard (2013–17), is currently a dynamic force in the NBA G League, averaging 21.5 points on 62.1% FG in his last two South Bay Lakers games. Though he missed his 2025–26 Miami Hurricanes season due to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, his intensity, defensive pedigree (Pac-12 All-Defensive Team, 2017), and proven scoring surge post-recovery make him a high-impact fit for any team seeking a resilient, high-intensity guard. His differentiator isn’t just stats—it’s his relentless drive, elite basketball IQ, and ability to elevate under pressure, proving he’s not just back, but thriving.
