Phoenix Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe is expected to miss the remainder of the National Basketball Association season after having surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his left knee, according to reports. But it’s not that easy to just fire Hornacek, knowing that he also was once a popular Suns player who surprised everyone in the 2013-2014 season when he managed to win 48 games for Phoenix as a rookie coach.

The draw means Leicester have lost just twice this term as they bounced back well from their loss at Liverpool to underline their credentials.
Bledsoe had been the Suns’ primary ball-handler, but that now shifts to Brandon Knight, who played nearly exclusively point guard for Detroit and Milwaukee before being traded to Phoenix last season.

Then Bledsoe went down against Philadelphia on Friday.

The Suns fired top assistant, Mike Longabardi, along with Jerry Sichting on Sunday night, and Hornacek’s future is teetering on the brink, league sources said. “Jeff has every opportunity and will continue to have every opportunity as we all work ourselves out of this hole and try to get back on the right track”.
The silver lining is that now the Suns can focus on the development of their young talent, particularly by giving heavy minutes to last June’s lottery pick 19-year-old Devin Booker in Bledsoe’s absence.
“I’ve had a meniscus done”, Hornacek said Tuesday. He left the team in 2008 to become the New York Knicks’ head coach, while Colangelo sold his interest in the franchise a decade ago. They lost, 111-104, to the Philadelphia 76ers, giving them their second win of the season.
Landry added 16 points and eight rebounds off the bench in his second back after missing the first 29 game while rehabbing from offseason wrist surgery. “If we do that, we will put (ourselves) in a good position to win games”. F P.J. Warren returned to a reserve role. The team originally said he would not have surgery.
Bledsoe can be the Suns’ best backcourt defender, although at times during the recent troubles he has not shown it. The Suns will need to tighten up there; that would have been their charge even with Bledsoe. He’ll probably be backed up by Ronnie Price and Bryce Cotton, who we’ve had on the team for about a month, will probably get a chance to play.

Bjorkgren and Watson have spent most of the season doing skill development activities with the players, though Bjorkgren also told me that Hornacek had him and the rest of the staff involved in all aspects of coaching. We’ve got some veteran guys.
