The great Steve Nash may be falling apart right before our very eyes. He’s already likely to sit out the second game of most Laker back-to-backs, and now he’s out for a couple of weeks with back pain.
Luckily for L.A., they’ve gotten off to a surprisingly decent start, thanks in large part to their bench. They’ll need them to continue that play while Nash is out.
Steve Nash will miss at least two weeks because of persistent nerve pain in his back, the Lakers said Monday.
Nash will have an epidural shot in his back Tuesday, a solution he tried with limited effect toward the end of last season. He was examined Monday by a back specialist, Dr. Robert Watkins, in Los Angeles.
Nash, who will be 40 in February, left Sunday’s loss to Minnesota in the second quarter because his back flared up.
