The Phoenix Suns are already without a top tier guard in Eric Bledsoe and now they also might be without one of their primary backups.
Ronnie Price, a 10 year veteran in his second career season with the Suns, will be missing a minimum of three weeks and possibly more due to a toe injury. Price has been the primary backup to staring point guard Brandon Knight for a majority of the season.

Phoenix will now turn to young guard Lorenzo Brown to play the role as the fourth guard in Phoenix’s rotation behind Brandon Knight, Devin Booker and Archie Goodwin.
On the disappointing 13-27 season, Price has played some solid minutes for the Suns. He’s averaging 15 minutes per game while scoring 4.2 points per game with 1.7 assists but more importantly, his veteran leadership will be missed on a team that is not looking great this season.
