A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price tied a career high in scoring with 23 points and hit a season-high five 3-pointers in the Wizards' loss on Wednesday.

Price hit 8-of-12 shots in 32 minutes off the bench in his best game of the season and has now hit double digits in scoring in three straight games. Unfortunately, he's not likely to have another game like this again this season, but he could still continue to see heavy minutes as the season winds to an end and he tries to set himself up to re-sign with the Wizards for next season.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price reiterated his desire to re-sign with the Wizards after the season.

"I definitely want to be here, I've expressed that many a time," he said. Price also admitted he won't be fully healthy until after the season as he plays through his groin injury. Most notably, John Wall wants Price to return next season, and an endorsement from the franchise star might be enough for Price to return.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price returned from a groin injury on Friday and played 18 points, scoring four with one assist against the Magic.

He'll be backing up John Wall and with Wall playing well, Price has very little fantasy value.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price will be in the lineup Friday night against the Magic.

Earlier Friday we noted that Price might need to be shut down, so it's definitely surprising that he'll be able to play tonight. He'll share the backup point guard role with Garrett Temple.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

Updating a previous item, A.J. Price (groin) is being listed as a game-time decision on Friday against the Magic.

Just earlier today we noted that Price was having trouble walking and could miss the remainder of the year, so we would be shocked to see him suit up on Friday. John Wall and Garrett Temple should expect a heavy workload on Friday.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price (groin) may not play for the remainder of the season.

Randy Wittman said the team anticipates Price will be back, but the backup point guard still isn't walking right and doesn't have a timetable for his return. "I played for about a month that I was in pain," he said. "I played through it and I progressively got worse. I'm really trying to get back on the court." Price will be an unrestricted free agent after the season, and while he's out, Garrett Temple will continue to see more minutes in the backcourt.

A.J. Price (groin) will not play on Wednesday.

Price is out indefinitely and we're going to stop updating his status on a daily basis unless there is a change in his availability. He hasn't played since March 12 and Garrett Temple will see more minutes in Price's absence.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price (groin) is still having problems walking and he's not expected to play on Monday.

We're going to consider Price "out indefinitely" until further notice. He can't walk right, he's limited to just standstill shooting drills in practice and he doesn't appear very close to returning. While Price is out, Garrett Temple should continue to pick up some extra minutes.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price (groin) is uncertain of his return date, and he remains limited to just free throws and jumpers in practice.

Price is also moving "with a noticeable limp," and will not play on Friday against the Lakers. With Bradley Beal (ankle) doubtful as well, Garrett Temple, Trevor Ariza and Martell Webster are all about to pick up some extra minutes.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price (groin) will not play against the Suns on Wednesday.

This will be his fifth game missed with the groin issue and the Wizards have been leaning on John Wall. Fortunately, Wall has been great in his last five games, averaging 24.2 points on a whopping 58.4 percent shooting. Garrett Temple has stepped it up in Price's absence, too.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price (groin) will sit out again on Monday.

This should mean a few more minutes as backup PG for Garrett Temple and Bradley Beal, regardless of which guy starts alongside John Wall. Price remains day-to-day with his injury.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price (groin) will not play against the Suns on Saturday.

The Wizards are running out of bodies for the Suns and they'll be counting on John Wall more tonight. Wall put up a season-high on Friday and should have success. Price has little value in most leagues.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price (groin) will not play Friday night against the Hornets.

Price also missed Wednesday's game with the injury. Price has no real fantasy value, but his absence means increased minutes for Garrett Temple and likely Martell Webster, as well.

A.J. Price - G - Wizards

A.J. Price has a groin injury and won't play against the Bucks on Wednesday.

Price has been the primary backup to John Wall but doesn't have a ton of fantasy value outside of deeper leagues. Garrett Temple, who will start for the injured Bradley Beal, will likely play a much bigger role than usual.
