Lakers’ Ronnie Price diagnosed with fractured nose

With an ear, nose and threat specialist diagnosing Ronnie Price with a fractured nose, the Lakers are listing him as probable for Wednesday’s designated road game against the Clippers at Staples Center.

Price broke his nose after taking a charge from Portland’s Thomas Robinson with 29.8 seconds left in the third quarter of the Lakers’ 98-94 loss on Monday to the Trail Blazers at Moda Center. Price immediately left the game and needed 11 stitches to repair the cut.

Price remained adamant he would not wear a mask to protect his nose, something that Lakers forward Ed Davis has currently done after breaking his nose in Friday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
