Steve Nash isn't traveling with the Lakers after receiving an epidural to reduce inflammation on Tuesday. Nash has a complex of pain stemming from nerve damage but he's determined to rehab the injury (described as "nerve root irritation") and return as a productive player for the Lakers. That outcome would be ideal, but it may not be realistic considering he spent the entire summer rehabbing only to be sidelined two weeks into the season. Steve Blake and Jodie Meeks will continue starting in L.A.'s backcourt while the former MVP regains his health.
