Suns' Eric Bledsoe (knee) is nearly fully recuperated

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe's knee is "nearly fully recuperated" according to Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic.

What It Means:

He had knee surgery in December to repair the torn meniscus in his left knee, but this confirms his rehab is going well. He should be ready to go for training camp. Bledsoe said Suns' coach Earl Watson "was probably one of the main reasons" he was playing so well at the beginning of the season, so Bledsoe could have a solid 2016-'17 campaign if he can stay healthy. The durability concerns means he should be available at a discount, as well.

Bledsoe ranked 73rd with a 0.7 nERD this season. He finished the year with averages of 20.4 points, 6.1 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.5 3-pointers per game.
