Lakers trainer Gary Vitti suggested that Steve Nash (leg, hamstring) might benefit from occasional rest during the NBA season. "He might be a guy that would be better off reducing his minutes," Vitti continued. "Because he wasn't himself last year, let's see what he's like in camp. We're not going to beat the guy up." Nash is almost completely recovered, but at 39 years old the Lakers may have to get creative to keep him healthy during the season. He averaged 32 minutes per game last year, but he also missed 32 games.
