Steve Nash recently turned 40 and a myriad of injuries has made his Lakers tenure forgettable. It’s unlikely that he’ll ever be able to make it through another season completely healthy and maybe he realizes this. He is reportedly set to retire at the end of the season. It’s probably a good decision. He had one heck of run, but Father Time remains undefeated.
“Steve Nash finally made it back to the Lakers and has told a few friends this is going to be it, even though he has one season to go on his contract, at $9.7 million. Nash, who turned 40 Friday, doesn’t expect to help much, but that’s been the story of his injury-plagued Laker career. He really missed the camaraderie with his teammates when he was out for three months with a nerve injury in his back, and says he wants to experience that for at least the last part of this season before he calls it a career.”
