WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- Eric Bledsoe's time in Phoenix could soon come to an end as the Suns guard was sent home Monday from practice, a day after the Suns fired coach Earl Watson and replaced him on an interim basis with Jay Triano.

Bledsoe sent a tweet that read "I don't wanna be here" on Sunday night, which was possibly linked to Watson's sacking.

General manager Ryan McDonough on Monday said Bledsoe told him that he was referencing a trip to a hair salon, and that it had nothing to do with the Suns.

But McDonough said he didn't believe that and decided Bledsoe should leave the team. "He won't be with us going forward," he said.

There are reports the Suns are engaged in trade talks with several teams including the Bucks and Knicks.

The Suns were routed 130-88 on Saturday by the Los Angeles Clippers, falling to 0-3 to start the season. It was the Suns' second loss by a margin of 40 or more points this season.
