The Lakers lost yesterday to the Spurs, but the story became Kobe’s tweets and Mike D’Antoni calling him a fan for it. But if we are to get back to the court for a second, the Lakers need to be concerned with Steve Nash.
Nash has had to deal with injuries this year and they haven’t gone away just because the playoffs are here.
Following yesterday’s loss, Nash admitted that he’s still hurt and not himself. This doesn’t bode well for L.A. avoiding a sweep.
It took Steve Nash three weeks to return to this point, but he made it painstakingly clear that he’s far from fully healed from a sore right hamstring.
Nash only described his hamstring as “OK” after scoring 16 points on only 6-of-15 shooting Sunday in the Lakers’ 91-79 loss in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs at AT&T Center.
“I’m not myself. I’m not moving that well,” Nash said. “I was struggling a little bit. There were a few shots I would normally make.”
Will Nash feel healthy enough to play Wednesday in Game 2?
“I hope so,” Nash said. “You never know what happens tomorrow. I want to keep going. I’m hopeful I can keep going.”
