Suns guard Bledsoe set for knee op

The 6-foot point guard arrived Saturday, hours before game time, and it was as if he never left the team. With the loss, Phoenix drops to 12-21 on the season and 8-10 at home. But they started 7-5 before losing 15 of their next 20 with Saturday night’s cringe-inducing loss to the Sixers. However, I’m not sure how Phoenix will get back on track.

Crude oil prices drop more than 1 percent as weak outlook prevails
Iran’s crude oil exports could rise by half a million barrels per day within 6-12 months once sanctions against it are removed. WTI for February delivery was at .70 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, up 10 cents, at 3:50 p.m.

Hornacek knows he could be the next to go. “We’re not quitting on anything”. “Never like to see anyone going down on any side. Whatever happens after that, you can’t get concerned about that”.


SeaWorld fights California ban on orca breeding with lawsuit
SeaWorld Entertainment is suing the California Coastal Commission over a ban on breeding killer whales at its San Diego park. SeaWorld claims restrictions imposed on plans to revamp its orca exhibition would effectively kill off the show.

DALLAS – J.J. Barea scored 26 points and was practically unstoppable from beyond the arc and Raymond Felton came up big on consecutive plays at both ends late in the game to lead Dallas over Chicago.


‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ heading for 0 million weekend
But in the past year, ” Star Wars ” has basically taken over the world in anticipation of the release of ” The Force Awakens “. Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ opening weekend has only just begun, but the JJ Abrams film is already breaking records.

Sichting came to the Suns when Hornacek was hired in 2013 after stints on coaching staffs at Washington and Golden State.

Bjorkgren also spent four seasons as an assistant coach with the Energy from 2007-11.

Sources told ESPN that the Suns, despite the organization’s well-known fondness for Hornacek, have been forced to contemplate a coaching change.

The Spurs didn’t look too impressive in their last outing, but they rarely have two poor games in a row so I expect them to bounce back and run away with an easy win against the shorthanded Suns in this one.

This is the fourth time Dukan has been recalled from the D-League, but he has yet to make an appearance in an National Basketball Association game.

Bjorgken was appointed assistant coach/player development director for the Suns in July. In 2014-15, he served as head coach of the Bakersfield Jam, the team’s NBA Development League affiliate. It probably went better than many expected.

The Suns lost leading scorer Eric Bledsoe to a sprained left knee in the first half.

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe will have surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his left knee and reportedly might miss several weeks. General manager Ryan McDonough had said he hoped Bledsoe, who signed a 5-year, $70-million contract before the start of last season, would return this season. That’s not all of Phoenix’s problems, as we haven’t delved into the Markieff Morris mess, dissected the team’s turnover problems (16.2 turnovers a game) or the fact the team is tied for the second-most technical with 30.
