Report: Nash's pain causing serious retirement considerations
While has Steve Nash battled back pain for the last couple weeks, it appears that it's getting worse. Those around the game were starting to wonder if this was a career-ending injury, but the Lakers and Nash himself dismissed those thoughts.
But now, there are reports that Nash is taking that idea a little more seriously:
I'm hearing Nash's pain is forcing him 2 seriously consider calling it a career. He'd still get $ this yr & next & LA'd get cap relief next

The injury, pain caused by nerve damage in his back, is causing Nash serious pain. He was scheduled to take a two week break from game action, but it appears that treatment isn't solving the problem as quickly as they would like.
Nash was averaging 6.7 points and 4.8 assists in six games this year.
