Eric Bledsoe returned to action after a 33-game absence in Wednesday's loss to the Cavs, scoring 15 points on 5-of-16 shooting (including a three) with three rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 32 minutes. As expected Bledsoe was able to come in and produce right away and he should be in all lineups going forward.

Eric Bledsoe (knee) will return on Wednesday as expected, coming off the bench behind Goran Dragic and Gerald Green. Head coach Jeff Hornacek has left open the possibility that Bledsoe will retake the starting SG job from Green at some point, but initially the Suns will ease him back into action off the bench. Bledsoe's engine is stuck in hyper-drive and he can put up nice numbers in limited minutes, so patient fantasy owners might as well plug him into active lineups.

Eric Bledsoe (knee) will not play against his former Clipper team on Monday, but is still expected to return to action on Wednesday against the Cavs. Monday was always a cherry on top for owners starting Bledsoe in the Suns' four-game week, and on Wednesday he'll come off the bench but is still a compelling option for owners still pondering a decision whether or not to activate him. We'd have a hard time not plugging him into lineups even with the rust factor at play.

Eric Bledsoe (knee) is targeting a return on Wednesday but "the window is open" for Monday's game if he feels good enough to play. Bledsoe has been practicing and scrimmaging full-court since March 1, and the Suns' vaunted medical staff seems content with him playing as soon as he feels ready. He'll come off the bench initially but coach Jeff Hornacek said that Bledsoe could eventually retake the starting SG job. "I guess we'll play that one by ear," said Hornacek.

Eric Bledsoe (knee surgery) said that he will likely return to action vs. the visiting Cavaliers on Wednesday. Bledsoe has been practicing and scrimmaging 5-on-5, but hasn't felt ready to play yet due to a lack of conditioning and routine soreness. He'll miss two more games, on Sunday and Monday, but patient owners can at least circle a date on the calendar. Gerald Green's production will take a hit with Bledsoe returning, and Goran Dragic's numbers may also dip, but fantasy owners are aided by a solid rest-of-season schedule featuring three four-game weeks and zero two-game duds.

Eric Bledsoe (knee surgery) will likely come off the bench upon his return to the Suns. Bledsoe's will reportedly return within the next week, but it sounds like he won't be inserted into the starting lineup right away. "You don't know how they'll come back," Suns' coach Jeff Hornacek said. "We might bring Eric in off the bench a little bit. We hope he's there at the end of game. If you throw him right into the starting lineup, it might screw you up for a few games." Bledsoe's owners may not get full production out of him for a game or two upon his return, but it shouldn't take long for him to displace Gerald Green from the Suns' starting lineup once he gets his sea legs under him.

Eric Bledsoe has a three-game window to return between Sunday and Wednesday, according to the Arizona Republic. The Suns play the Warriors on Sunday, the Clippers on Monday and the Cavs on Wednesday. Sunday's game is believed to be the least likely for Bledsoe because the Suns play on a road back-to-back. He's been going through 5-on-5 workouts since Saturday and the word on the street is he's looked great. He shouldn't be sitting on any waiver wires and owners in weekly leagues can start planning on plugging him into their lineups next week. Gerald Green will take a hit upon Bledsoe's return.

Eric Bledsoe (knee) went through 5-on-5 drills on Wednesday. It's the third time he's gone through 5-on-5 in the last five days and has not reported any soreness in his right knee. The Suns lost Leandro Barbosa (hand) for 4-6 weeks on Tuesday, but that will not be a factor in bringing Bledsoe back sooner. "It is still when Eric thinks he can go," coach Jeff Hornacek said on Wednesday. The freakishly athletic point guard doesn't have a target date, but there is some going optimism about it being sooner rather than later.

Coach Jeff Hornacek said on Tuesday that Eric Bledsoe (knee) does not have a target date to return. He's essentially ruled out for Tuesday night and his status for Thursday does not sound great either. Bledsoe has dealt with some soreness, but it's to his body and not to his surgically-repaired knee. We'll be passing along any info as it becomes available. Gerald Green owners should plan on Green taking a hit.

Eric Bledsoe (knee) felt sore on Tuesday, but hasn't experienced any setbacks. Bledsoe went through a 5-on-5 workout on Monday and will do so again on Wednesday, according to coach Jeff Hornacek. Hornacek described Bledsoe's soreness as "training camp soreness and underscored that his recuperating knee is fine. This news would seem to rule out Bledsoe for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, but we'll be keeping a close eye on his status for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
