Nash leaves preseason game with sprained ankle--
ATLANTA (AP)—Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash left Wednesday night’s preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks after spraining his right ankle.
Nash was injured late in the first half and was not expected to return, according to the Suns.
Nash limped and grimaced as he left the court. No details of the injury were immediately available.
The Suns were without center Shaquille O’Neal, who was just resting, according to coach Terry Porter.
Forward Amare Stoudemire (torn iris in right eye) and Leandro Barbosa, who returned to the team this week after being with his ailing mother in Sao Paulo, Brazil, also did not play.
The Hawks were without point guard Mike Bibby (right oblique strain) and forward Marvin Williams (sprained right thumb).
