With the Phoenix Suns hosting the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday inside Talking Stick Resort Arena, it will be the first time the Suns will go up against their former player, Eric Bledsoe. To welcome him back to the city he called home for over three years, he was invited to join a card game, which Devin Booker hosted prior to their matchup.
It has been reported that Bledsoe indeed stopped by on Tuesday night, and played cards together with Booker, Tyler Ulis and Jared Dudley, who he all used to hangout with a lot of times before.

Devin Booker and Eric Bledsoe were close when Bledsoe was with the Suns. Booker says Bledsoe “stopped by the house last night.”

Booker formed a strong bond with the Bucks guard when they were still teammates. Although Bledsoe is older than him, they have strong ties, as they both came from Kentucky. He also served as a mentor to the 21-year-old, making his transition to the pros easier.
It will be very interesting to see how they will go up against each other, as it’s expected that Bledsoe will be motivated to play better, and give the Bucks a win on the night. The end of his tenure with the Suns was not the most ideal one, and it will definitely be more than enough reason for him to be pumped up, and prove to them that they made a mistake in parting ways with him.
