Sources: Bledsoe may be out thru All-Star break
Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe‘s injured left knee may keep him out until after the All-Star break, sources told ESPN.
Bledsoe suffered the non-contact injury Saturday night in a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. The initial diagnosis was that it was an injury to his meniscus that could require surgery, sources told ESPN.
Bledsoe underwent an MRI on Sunday and is considering his treatment options.
Bledsoe suffered a torn meniscus in his right knee during the 2013-14 season, an injury that required him to undergo midseason surgery and miss 33 games.
The injury comes at a challenging time for the Suns, who have lost 15 of their past 20 games to slide back in the Western Conference standings and put coach Jeff Hornacek’s job in jeopardy.
Bledsoe had been in the midst of a career year, averaging 20.4 points, 6.1 assists and 2 steals per game.
