Suns’ Eric Bledsoe done for season after knee surgery
“I was happy with the way those three young guys played”.
Bledsoe’s injury was reported by The Arizona Republic, which also added that he will undergo surgery on Tuesday, with the Suns not giving a timetable for his return. Bledsoe ranks 29th (of 326) in PER and 30th (of 424) in RPM this season.
Without Bledsoe, point guard Brandon Knight is expected to have more scoring load.
Eric Bledsoe is helped off the court. That pace, winning 16 percent of games between now and mid-April, may not seem like much – but this was a squad that was created to lose, and this is a franchise that has lost 40 of its last 42 games dating back nine months. All of this was opposed by Hornacek, but he didn’t have any choice in the matter.
The news comes with the Suns struggling to a 12-21 season. “Hopefully, they can continue that and we can win some of these games and get a little streak going”. Denver has lost 10 straight games to the Spurs. Opting to fix the meniscus vs. removing it entirely results in longer recovery time but better long-term outcomes. “One of the keys to the Hawks” offensive resurgence has been Kent Bazemore, who coach Mike Budenholzer inserted into the starting lineup on December 14.
The Suns asked Morris to apologize to his teammates and coaches prior to re-instating him as an active player, after Markieff apparently demurred following a text and Twitter “sry”.
Splitter did not travel with the team to IN for Monday’s game against the Pacers, and will not play IN Tuesday’s game at Houston either.
“We tried to shake up the staff and we’ll see how it goes”. Both Swiss shooters were stopped by Canada goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood, who made 23 saves in his World Juniors debut after sitting out the first two games serving an eight-game suspension from the Ontario Hockey League… Ryan Anderson scored 16, and Evans finished with 11 points and 13 assists. Hornacek looks defeated most of the time these days, and his players are clearly not taking to his optimistic approach. Memphis is 8-2 this season on the second night of a back-to-back.
“Yeah, obviously it’s probably a low point for us”, Hornacek said.
Without Bledsoe, the Suns have an even lesser chance to win games. Despite the improvement, Phoenix missed the playoff and the team then went 39-43 past year.
Rookie Jarell Eddie made four 3-pointers and scored 12 points in the fourth quarter of his National Basketball Association debut, helping the Wizards blow open what was a two-point game after three.
