Suns' Bledsoe suffers sprained knee in loss vs. 76ers, will undergo MRI
Phoenix Suns guard Eric Bledsoe left Saturday's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers after suffering a sprained left knee.
He was ruled out of the remainder of the game, and will undergo an MRI.
Jeff Hornacek said the team doctor did not believe Eric Bledsoe suffered anything like a torn ACL. #SunsVs76ers

During the second quarter of the contest, the 26-year-old fell to the floor, where he remained seated, holding his knee, as both teams continued to play at the other end of the court.
After play stopped, Bledsoe was helped off the court by teammates.
The prospect of being without Bledsoe - arguably their best player - would be a major blow to the 12-20 Suns, whose next three games come against championship contenders in the form of Cleveland, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City.
The six-year veteran has missed only one game this season, and played 81 games in 2014-15.
