Steve Nash is returning to Vancouver to rehab the nerve-root irritation which has caused his chronic back and hamstring pain. He will not travel with L.A. on their upcoming four-game road trip and remains out indefinitely. A speedy return would be ideal now that Steve Blake (elbow) has been ruled out for at least six weeks, but it would be unwise to gamble on Nash's return date in fantasy leagues.
