Report: Suns' Eric Bledsoe will return to action in the next week

Phoenix Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe could make his return from arthroscopic knee surgery as early as Sunday against the Golden State Warriors, Paul Coro of AZCentral.com reports.

Coro notes that Bledsoe is unlikely to play Sunday, but will return to action no later than Wednesday's home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

Bledsoe injured his knee on Dec. 30 against the Los Angeles Clippers and underwent surgery 11 days later. The 24-year-old was averaging 18.0 points, 5.8 assists, and 4.3 rebounds before he was sidelined.
