Phoenix Suns G Eric Bledsoe leaves with knee injury
So far this season, the Phoenix Suns have been embarrassed a few times, but Saturday was kind of the tipping point. It didn’t hurt Philadelphia that Phoenix is imploding as a team and a franchise, but it doesn’t take away the fact that the Sixers for one night played extremely well. “I’ve had a meniscus done, ” Hornacek said. It wasn’t the outcome that we wanted, but they’re a pretty good team.

Bledsoe has been everything you thought he would be heading into the National Basketball Association season, averaging 20.9 PTS, 4.1 REB, 6.3 AST, 1.6 3PM and 35.0 MIN per game. He was acquired in a trade with the Pelicans on Christmas Eve. Nerlens Noel added 14 points and 11 rebounds.
The last time the Philadelphia 76ers won on the road was March 29 this year, a brutal stretch the covers 23 games including 18 straight this season.
According to Yahoo’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Bledsoe has a torn meniscus that will require surgery on his left knee.
Bledsoe was to undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the injury, but coach Jeff Hornacek said after an early evaluation the injury does not appear to involve the anterior cruciate ligament.
Bledsoe leads the Suns with a 20.4 scoring average and was 15th in the league in scoring entering the game.
PORTLAND, Ore. – Allen Crabbe scored a career-high 26 points, and Portland held LeBron James to just 12 points.
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”. We’re just going to continue to work and try to implement a couple of different things and see if we can get it going. “Whatever it is, we’ll be behind him and we’ll support him through it”.
He also came up with clutch baskets in the fourth quarter. The Suns have started rookie Devin Booker at shooting guard in two games this season. Reggie Jackson’s 3-pointer then trimmed Boston’s lead to 95-93, but former Piston Jonas Jerebko hit a baseline jumper with 10.7 seconds left. He later got a steal and fed Stauskas for a dunk, and knocked down a jumper to help keep the Sixers in front.
“You get a little pop with Ish”, Brown said.
The injury ends the best statistical season of Bledsoe’s six-year career.
Unfortunately, the news that Morris threw a towel at the Suns coach, leading to a two-game suspension, buttresses the belief Hornacek isn’t getting through to the team.
The Suns (12-20) were left searching for answers after a loss to the team with the NBA’s worst record.

“It could be good for us in the long run”, Hornacek said.
