Bledsoe has not been playing since being sent home by the Sun’s GM Ryan McDonough. He is a former first-round draft pick (No.18) overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the 2010 NBA draft.
Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe has likely played his final game for the team, general manager Ryan McDonough told reporters Monday.
