So Lillard broke Steve Nash's leg. That's such an odd feeling. I used to other players breaking our players.
Mike Brown admitted after a Friday night loss to the Clippers that his 0-3 Lakers badly need a win. For now, Kobe Bryant and company will have to pursue that elusive first W without starting point guard Steve Nash. The Lakers announced Saturday that Nash suffered a ”small non-displaced fracture in the head of his fibula” in his right leg and will miss at least a week before being re-examined. Nash suffered the lower leg injury, originally called a contusion, during a Wednesday night loss to the Trail Blazers in Portland. Nash did not play against the Clippers on Friday. Nash, 38, was acquired by the Lakers in a summer sign-and-trade with the Suns in exchange for two first-round picks, two second-round picks and cash considerations. Nash signed a three-year contract worth $27 million as part of the agreement. Brown’s Princeton offense was already coming under fire with Nash. Without the two-time MVP and eight-time All-Star, Brown is expected to start reserve Steve Blake and to use Darius Morris and Chris Duhon behind him. To say that going from Nash to Blake is a “downgrade” would be an understatement. Blake, 32, is a somewhat serviceable veteran with a very limited offense game; he is a low-risk, low-reward player content to move the ball around safely and shoot only if wide open. http://nba.si.com/2012/11/03/lakers-steve-nash-has-non-displaced-fracture-in-fibula/
Just like when Ron Artest stepped on Brandon Roy's foot and he ended up tearing his meniscus. Brandon was never the same. What goes around comes around.
If you watch the video, Dame hit it in a way that bent his leg inward right around the shin/knee area.
Lol. The curse has been passed to the Lakers. How sweet would that be. They should just let Nash coach on offense and appoint another coach for defense.
