The Phoenix Suns announced star guard Eric Bledsoe underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn left meniscus. He will be out for the season.
The team expects Bledsoe to return to full strength by training camp next fall.
The Suns are 12-21 and riding a five-game losing streak. Losing their leading scorer (20.4 points per game) will assuredly be a massive blow for a team hoping to contend in the incredibly competitive Western Conference.
