Phoenix Suns' Eric Bledsoe Out For Season With Knee Injury

While Monday's game was a step in the right direction, there are more adjustments the team will have to make moving forward with the loss of Bledsoe. 76ers assistant coach Mike D'Antoni, a former Suns head coach, was on the Philadelphia bench for the first time since being hired last week. "We were right there". We've got a lot of young guys.

It has not been a ho-ho holiday for the Suns and Hornacek. The way they've played this seaosn, there's reason to believe that they will only win one or zero of these games. But a further diagnosis revealed Bledsoe would need season-ending surgery.

McDonough seemed to rule out any major personnel moves. This is the final guaranteed season on Hornacek's original four-year contract. To the owner who pushed the Suns fight for the playoffs while they should have been taking a few bad seasons on the nose to get high draft picks. His All-Star like statistics and play has brought an extra dynamic to the Suns squad.

Monday's victory made San Antonio the third West team to open 18-0 at home, joining the 1985-86 Houston Rockets and the 1977-78 Portland Trail Blazers. We simplified some things.

Morris has yet to post a double-double and is averaging 10.8 points along with 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 23.5 minutes a game. The Suns were down by 14 to the Sixers after the first quarter, and while they came back and took the lead midway through the third, Philadelphia built its lead to 16 in the fourth quarter.

"I'll continue to do what I've been doing and be myself and it'll work out", Knight said. "If we do that, we will put us in a good position to win games".

"When you're out there and you have Alex Len, Devin Booker and T.J. Warren against the Cleveland Cavaliers with three all-stars, a couple of hall of famers probably, you want to see how they compete", Coach said. "Everybody on the team has been ready". "You're out longer but it's the best thing for your joint and your knee". Everyone was getting touches. P.J. Hairston added 14 points, and Jeremy Lin had 13. After 10 games we were in the top 10 in the league offensively and defensively in terms of efficiency, so I'm not sure the answer is just turning over the roster, doing anything reactionary in the short term.

With Eric Bledsoe out of commission, who can his fantasy owners pickup for production in the interim?
