Price appreciates chance with Pacers"As a second-round NBA draft pick, A.J. Price has a challenge to make the Indiana Pacers. But that's just a basketball challenge. He has faced far more. As a college freshman, he suffered a brain hemorrhage that threatened his life. Price had to sit out the next season after an arrest involving stolen laptop computers, an incident that strained his parents' marriage. In March 2008, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee before recovering to play his senior season and helping lead Connecticut to the Final Four. "It was very difficult.

KurbyFX Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Interesting situation after all the speculation of trade surrounding Ford, prior to the draft.
