Earl Watson, Injured Suns Face Brutal Schedule
Phoenix Suns interim coach Earl Watson came into a very tough situation, in large part, due to injuries. The schedule isn’t doing him any favors either.
Since losing Eric Bledsoe for the season on December 26th, the Suns have been the worst team in the league – on offense and defense. Bledsoe led the Suns in scoring, assists, and steals. This production can‘t be replaced by a single player, at least not on the Suns roster.
If that wasn’t enough, the injury problems have continued, with Brandon Knight and Ronnie Price out through the all-star break, and T.J. Warren out for the season.
