RE:Any word on Nash?
Steve Nash out with shoulder injury
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Point guard Steve
Nash of the Dallas Mavericks suffered a partially
dislocated left shoulder Wednesday night.
The veteran point guard was injured in the first
quarter of the Mavericks' 100-90 loss at Washington.
"I really don't know how it happened," Nash said.
"I just remembered running back down the court
wondering what I did to my shoulder. It just got
more sore every possession, after every bump.
When I came out, I couldn't even make certain
movements at all."
The Dallas Morning News reported that Nash will
miss Thursday's game at Toronto, and the team's
medical staff is hoping to get a harness shipped to
San Antonio in time for Saturday's game against
the Spurs.
The Mavericks have Tony Delk and swingman
Antoine Walker to handle the ballhandling chores
in Nash's absence. In the team's first four games
this season, Nash is averaging 13.5 points and
nine assists per contest.
