Ronnie Price's first meet-the-press session of his Utah Jazz career has been pushed back to Wednesday.

Price agreed to terms with the Jazz Thursday and took a physical Friday, but results weren't available until Monday, when he was supposed to be re-introduced to Utah in a press conference. Timing for that didn't work out well, and Price is busy moving today, so the press conference is now scheduled for Wednesday.

The undrafted 6-foot-2 free-agent guard from Utah Valley State College spent the past two seasons with the Sacramento Kings, playing in 87 games averaging 2.9 points, 1.0 rebounds and 9.7 assists in 8.2 minutes a game. He played in 58 games, starting one, last season, averaging 3.3 points, 1.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 9.7 minutes.

His career high of 16 points was scored against the Jazz in Sacramento Nov. 22, 2006, and included an impressive dunk over Jazz forward Carlos Boozer. Price had seven double-figure scoring games last season.
