The latest injury is another setback that casts doubt about
his future in the NBA. The 40-year-old has battled injuries the
past few years. Last season, he was limited to 15 games.
Nash, the oldest active player in the league who is in his 19th
season, isn't expected to play on Thursday night in an
exhibition game against the Utah Jazz.
"It's a concern because, from my standpoint, I've got to kind of
figure out if he's going to be able to play every day or not, if
he's going to be able to play every other game, or which games
can he play," Lakers coach Byron Scott said.
"Obviously, in the next couple of weeks, we've got some time to
come to a conclusion to this whole situation."
Nash is in the final year of a three-year, $28 million contract.
He said during the summer that he expects this season to be his
last.
