Nash sprains ankle again

Suns guard Steve Nash is doubtful to play in Monday's home preseason game with Charlotte after suffering another mild sprain to his right ankle in Sunday's practice. He also sprained that ankle in Wednesday's game at Atlanta, prompting the team to hold him out of Thursday's practice and Friday's preseason game in Syracuse, N.Y.

On the final play of the scrimmage portion that ends Suns practices, Nash was alone on a breakaway against Alando Tucker. He went up and turned his body to draw contact as he shot but landed on Tucker's foot. Nash immediately took weight off it as he hopped or skipped around the practice court before going up the stairs to head for the training room. Nash sprained the ankle last week by also landing on an opponent's foot off a jump shot.

Last week, Nash was given three precautionary off-days after the ankle sprain with Sunday being the first day he was allowed to practice again. Given that handling, Nash could be held out of Tuesday's game at the Los Angeles Clippers too. Part of that decision will weigh the good of giving Goran Dragic more preseason time at the point against the desire to use the final two games (Tuesday and Thursday) as rehearsals for the regular starting lineup and rotation.

Did I say he was, or did I ask if he might be?

I get the feeling Singletary and not Dragic should be who we focus on. The guy seems to be the complete package

The way he takes over a game in a short period of time, chases the ball, scores and steals, uh no thanks, I'll use him NOW

Now if only I had a consistent J, solid ball-handling skills, and a $60 million contract...
