An ex-NBA guard has been arrested this week on a troubling charge. Former All-Defensive selection Eric Bledsoe was arrested early Wednesday morning for allegedly striking a woman in the face on a Los Angeles-area freeway, TMZ Sports reported.
As NBA free agency slows down, teams often begin looking at former NBA players who are attempting a comeback to the league. This will typically include a workout with several players looking for another opportunity, and will often take place during NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
Eric Bledsoe was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers as part of a five-player blockbuster in early February, but did not end up suiting up for his new squad this past season due to an Achilles injury.
Part of what makes the NBA, or any pro sports league, so compelling to watch is the narratives, especially those centered on rivalries. Throughout the decades, the NBA has fostered a number of rivalries, some long-lasting and others short but sweet.
Getting a healthy Bledsoe in time for the restart would be a solid boost for the Bucks, as he was averaging 15.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game this season.
