PIKEVILLE, KY. – The East Kentucky Miners announced Thursday guard Daniel Price had been activated and added to the team’s roster. In addition to Price’s activation, East Kentucky announced guard Bryant Northern had been deactivated. Northern, who suffered a broken hand in a game versus Minot in early-February, could be activated and available for any postseason games.
A Pikeville College graduate, Price played in five games in an earlier stint with the Miners before being deactivated. Price made the most of his time with the Miners, averaging 10.8 points per game. He joined the CBA team when suspensions were dealt out to Northern and Jason McLeish as a result of an incident that occurred in a home game versus Butte.
In five games prior to the most recent roster move, Price played 88 minutes for East Kentucky, scoring a total of 54 points. Price made an appearance Thursday night in East Kentucky’s 120-118 win over Oklahoma.
The Miners are due back in action Friday night versus Oklahoma on Pikeville Medical Center Night. As part of the PMC promotion, all tickets are priced at $2. All PMC employees will gain free admission into the CBA non-conference game pitting the Miners versus the Cavalry.
