Steve Nash (hip, back, hamstring) will not play against the Spurs on Friday. He was doubtful for the game and Nash was badly hobbling in Game 2. He might not be ready for Game 4 on Sunday, but Mike D'Antoni is optimistic that Nash could be ready. The Lakers are in dire straits in the backcourt with Jodie Meeks and Steve Blake also out. LA will go with a starting unit of Darius Morris, Andrew Goudelock, Metta World Peace, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard. They will have their hands full with Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.
