Nash will not suit up for Lakers on Sunday in the preseason tilt against the Jazz, InsideSoCal.com reports. Nash has only played in two preseason games, asking out of the second after just one quarter. His back and nerve root issues from last season have kept him from practicing this week, but the ageing veteran wants to play in at least one more preseason game before the regular season kicks off. Things aren't looking rosy for the NBA's oldest player and Jeremy Lin (ankle) will likely assume the starting point guard role this season, and be the superior fantasy option.
