The Phoenix Suns announced guard Eric Bledsoe underwent successful arthroscopic surgery involving meniscus cartilage in his right knee.

The procedure was performed in Phoenix by team doctor and surgeon Thomas Carter. The team says Bledsoe will immediately begin a recovery and rehabilitation program and has hope that he may be able to return at some point in the season’s second half.

And according to Arizona Sports 98.7’s John Gambadoro, that’s precisely what’s going to happen.

In his first year with the Suns, Bledsoe has averaged 18 points, 5.8 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 24 games.
