Oh No Nash Does it AGAIN

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.

Well I took it as a rhetorical question cos you backed it up with some vigor...

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

Yes, finally I have something in common with Steve Nash! I sprained my ankle twice in the last couple of months playing bball as well, haha.

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

Drajic will end up with 8 points, 8 assist, 8 rebounds, 8 steals and 4 blocks this time around. LOL

The sad thing is, is that you still wouldn't be anywhere near as good as him. :lol:

Me on the other hand.............. :roll:

--- How's your hair? You need that Paul Weller/Stevie Marriot 'do to really have the package.

Do they have any updates as to when Nash will be ready to go....this is crucial for my upcoming Fantasy Draft.

I think his return is expected to be on or slightly before the beginning of the regular season.
