Coach ax rumors as Suns鈥 Bledsoe set for surgery

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe, the NBA team鈥檚 top scorer, will have surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, the team said on Sunday.

Bledsoe was hurt on Saturday in a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, an embarrassing defeat to a team that had won just one other game this season. The Suns said the operation will be performed today, and there is no timetable yet for Bledsoe鈥檚 return. It鈥檚 a tough blow for the Suns, with Bledsoe averaging 20.4 points and 6.1 assists in 31 games this season. The news came on the same day that ESPN reported Suns coach Jeff Hornacek鈥檚 job could be in danger. Hornacek described the loss to the lowly 76ers as 鈥渁 low point鈥 for a team in the midst of a 5-15 stretch.
