Bledsoe injured, carried off the court...

[J_Dee]

He had to be carried off the court but it might just be a minor sprain. Let's wish him well, BBN.

He's had knee injuries in the past. I hope it's not the same knee.

That said, Robert Covington extended his right leg right into Bledsoe and delivered a shady screen on Eric. The result was the locking of the knees.

Look at the replay. Cheap ass Covington basically attempts to trip him by the way he extends his body for a screen.

"Phoenix guard Eric Bledsoe has a torn meniscus in his left knee and will be out indefinitely, the team announced Sunday.

"Sources told ESPN that Bledsoe might be out until after the All-Star Game on Feb. 14. The Suns said he will undergo surgery.

...

"Bledsoe was having a career year, averaging 20.4 points, 6.1 assists and 2 steals per game."

Sucks. Wishing him a speedy recovery. :/

Damn

Will miss the remainder of the year due to torn meniscus in his left knee. Get better soon EB and come back even stronger.

Man that sucks. Right in the middle of a career year.

Really tough break for Bledsoe. He was having an All-Star type season. that's a real shame.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

It was a horseshite play by Covington. He screened Bledsoe, but extended his right leg to form a triangle pattern instead of a legal screen.

These injuries are depressing over the last few years - Poythress, Noel, WCS, Rondo, Bledsoe, Randle, MKG. Most of them were the type of injuries that ended the season for the player.

 

[J_Dee]

He's out for the season, if anybody else cares. "/

 

[JFCats22]

tough break for him. He was having a tremendous season.

Best of luck on getting healthy!

That sucks! I saw 6 weeks just yesterday. Get well Eric!

 

[StubbornPenny]

that sucks hard. His name is on that dotted line though, so he'll get every penny of his contract. That's a plus.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

MKG and now Eric. Randle and Poythress last year. Noel a few years ago. WCS in the tournament.

Injuries are terrible.
