Ronnie Price (ankle) will not play on Saturday.

Price is day-to-day with the sprained ankle, and in his absence the Blazers will try to squeeze some production out of Nolan Smith and Will Barton.

Ronnie Price was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain and left the arena walking "gingerly" on Friday.

It would be surprising to see him play on Saturday considering he's dealt with foot issues previously this season. Without him, Nolan Smith could actually see some meaningful minutes behind Damian Lillard.

Ronnie Price injured his right foot in the fourth quarter of Friday's game against the Jazz.

He's been dealing with foot issues for most of the season and the Blazers are probably going to allow him to rest and heal. Price has very little value as Damian Lillard's backup.

Ronnie Price scored 10 points in Sunday's win over the Bulls, while handing out five assists in 20 minutes.

This was Price's first double-digit scoring game of the season, and his previous season-high for assists was two. That should scare away owners in all but the deepest fantasy leagues.

Ronnie Price returned to action on Saturday November 3.

Ronnie Price (ankle) will make his season debut on Saturday.

Price is going to split the backup duties with Nolan Smith and is not worth consideration in anything but an extremely deep league. Damian Lillard can do no wrong and should play a ton of minutes.

Ronnie Price (ankle) will not play in Friday's game against the Thunder.

This marks two straight missed games for Price, but he shouldn't be out for too long to begin the year. Damian Lillard will see a ton of action with Nolan Smith acting as his backup.

Ronnie Price has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Lakers due to a lingering ankle injury.

This just means more minutes for Damian Lillard, as fantasy owners anxiously await his debut tonight. Price is day-to-day with the injury.

Ronnie Price (ankle) is a game-time decision vs. the Lakers on Wednesday.

Price's status shouldn't affect any fantasy lineups. Nolan Smith will assume backup PG duties if he misses any games.

Ronnie Price (ankle) went through non-contact portions of Monday's practice, but he remains questionable for Portland's season opener.

This is the most activity Price has had since getting injured, and his status vs. the Lakers depends upon how his ankle responds to Monday's workout.

No. 3 PG Ronnie Price (ankle) did not practice on Friday and is still questionable for the season opener.

Price is taking on a mentoring role with Damian Lillard, but can also step in if backup PG Nolan Smith falters at any point. Either way, the shallow Blazers can use all of the experienced bodies that they can find, so they'll welcome Price back with open arms when he is healthy.

Blazers reserve guard Ronnie Price (ankle) hopes to return for Blazers season opener against the Lakers.

"That's the goal. Got 10 days to get there," he said on Sunday. With Damian Lillard and Wesley Matthews expected to see most of the minutes at the guard spots in Portland, we're not expecting much out of Price this season.

Ronnie Price (sprained right ankle) hopes to return to action during the preseason.

There are no guarantees, but it sounds like Price could be ready for opening night vs. the Lakers on Oct. 31. He'll serve as the Blazers' primary backup PG, after averaging 3.6 points, 1.9 assists and 0.9 steals in a similar role with Phoenix last year.

Ronnie Price sprained his right ankle on Sunday, and it's severe enough to threaten his availability for opening night.

Price left the arena on crutches, forcing Terry Stotts to shuffle his rotations -- Damian Lillard and Nolan Smith will do the heavy lifting at PG, and rookie Will Barton may also get minutes as a backup PG.

Ronnie Price had to be helped from the floor because of a right ankle injury suffered during Friday's exhibition game against the Suns.

X-rays taken were negative. Price was in a position battle with Nolan Smith, but chances are he was destined for the No. 3 PG role and situations in which coach Terry Stotts would rather have a vet on the floor. Regardless, he had no fantasy value going into tonight and the ankle injury isn't helping matters, obviously.

Coach Terry Stotts is considering using Ronnie Price alongside Damian Lillard in certain lineups.

Price was signed to be the third-string PG in Portland, but the coach is looking to possibly emulate the Dallas backcourt of Jason Terry and J.J. Barea while Stotts was an assistant with the Mavericks. Regardless, it's really difficult to envision Price emerging with any consistent fantasy value.

Trail Blazers officially sign PG Ronnie Price.

Price should end up being a third-stringer behind rookie starter Damian Lillard and backup Nolan Smith, who escaped serious injury on Tuesday night. Price simply looks like a mentor at this point, but with a rookie and inexperienced player in front of him, could end up making some noise before it's all said and done.

Joe Freeman of The Oregonian is reporting that unrestricted free agent G Ronnie Price will sign with the Blazers on Wednesday.

There are no details just yet on the length of the contract, but GM Neil Olshey has said it will be for the league minimum. Price will back up both guard positions in Portland for next season, but it will be a long shot for him to emerge with any fantasy value.

An article on FOX Sports Arizona states that unrestricted FA Ronnie Price "will be headed elsewhere as a free agent."

The article has no byline but sounds informed enough to merit a mention. Of course, nothing can be certain until Steve Nash chooses where he'll sign -- if he leaves Phoenix, the Suns will only have Sebastian Telfair under contract at PG. The Suns also have the option to match any offer for restricted FA Aaron Brooks.

Ronnie Price started at point guard for a resting Steve Nash and had 10 points, six assists, two steals and a 3-pointer on 2-of-11 shooting.

Price has no fantasy value as long as Nash is healthy, and he is, sitting this one out just as precautionary rest.
