Leandro Barbosa will sign a 10-day deal with the Phoenix Suns and is expected to join the team in Chicago for the next game.

The Suns will assess whether Barbosa can bolster the offense, which has lost Eric Bledsoe to a knee sprain.

Barbosa underwent season-ending knee surgery last February, when he tore his ACL.

Barbosa played seven of his first 10 NBA seasons with the Suns and was the Sixth Man of the Year in 2007.
