The Indiana Pacers are expected to sign free agent point guard A.J. Price, reports Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports.
Spears reports that Price is in Boston, where Indiana faces the Celtics on Friday, and will sign with the Pacers there.
The Pacers have been dealing with a rash of injuries, including to point guards George Hill and C.J. Watson. Hill has a knee injury and coach Frank Vogel recently said the guard is still "a long ways away" from returning, while Watson is currently out with a bruised right foot.
