A torn meniscus in his left knee which is not the knee that he previously had a meniscus surgery. He'll be out at least 2 months.

This team is a dumpster fire.

Bad news for Eric, who for all his faults has been the Suns best player this season. But at least there should be a silver lining for the team in the form of more minutes for Booker especially.

Silver lining for me would be Ben Simmons.

Without knowing the results after Sunday’s practice, Suns coach Jeff Hornacek only could start preparing the team for the ultimate challenge of coming off rock bottom with Saturday’s home loss to the 2-30 76ers (minus Jahlil Okafor) and going through a four-day gauntlet against three of the NBA’s top four teams – Cleveland, San Antonio and Oklahoma City.
Gross.

Well if we're not tanking, we should at least be seeing how many games the younguns can win

When you are this close, why not go for it? It worked for the Spurs pretty well.

He's really exactly what we need.

I just posted a long-winded post in the coaching thread about how we need to tank (in a good way, though).

They have to move this guy in the offseason.

Dammit! My avatar has a bum knee. First it was my screen name with bum knees. Then Bledsoe starts blowing out ACLs and MCLs on the regular.
I'm a curse, dammit.

Yeah I still blame you for Spivey's fall from grace.

I don't mind seeing what Knight can do as a lead PG, to be honest.
On the other hand, Bledsoe is out for 2 months, so he'll be back after the all star break, right? What happens if we manage to find some success in between now and then? Trade? Shut down? Bring him back and ruin the chemistry so that we just miss the playoffs again?

At least it is the other knee and meniscus is not the worst knee injury.
Hopefully this lets the FO know that the season is over and use it as the spark to make roster moves towards the 2016 draft.

The injury is essentially just a tryout for Knight. Kind of helps speed up the future really.
