Sophomore forward has been plagued by knee injury
Montana State men's basketball coach Brian Fish announced Monday that forward Quinn Price has retired from basketball due to a lingering knee injury, but remains on scholarship at the school.
Â
"One of the things that makes Montana State University so great is that we take care of our own," Fish said. "It's sad that we've reached this conclusion together. I loved having Quinn on the team because of the kind of person he is, and when he was healthy he helped us as a player very early in his career."
Â
A 6-9 product of Casa Grande, Ariz., Price tallied one rebound and two points per game in 23 contests as a freshman in 2014-15, but established his presence as a defensive force with 14 blocked shots and five steals that season. He played in just two games, starting one, as a sophomore this season due to the injury.
Â
Fish indicated that Price plans to remain at MSU on a medical scholarship. "I'm glad that Quinn will finish has academic career at MSU," he said. "He's invested his time as a member of the SAAC (Student-Athlete Advisory Committee) and in other ways on campus, and he's a very popular kid. We tell students when we recruit them that regardless of what happens on the basketball court that a degree from this school will benefit them throughout their lives, and Quinn will be a great example of that."
