    Phoenix guard Steve Nash left Friday night's 106-91 loss to the Dallas Mavericks with what the Suns termed a "stinger."

    With 7:17 left in the first quarter, Nash and Mavericks center Tyson Chandler collided while going for a loose ball in the Phoenix backcourt.

    Nash's neck appeared to drive into Chandler's hip, and Nash was down for several minutes before limping to the bench.

    "Just a weird night from that standpoint," Mavs forward Dirk Nowitzki said after the game. "We were all on the court; he's laying there screaming, 'I can't feel my hands.' So that was one of the weirdest things I've obviously ever seen, so very, very unfortunate. Hopefully he'll be OK. He's a warrior, and he'll recover quick."

    Nash was replaced by Goran Dragic, and a few minutes later the Suns announced Nash was out for the rest of the game.

    Afterward, Nash said he was intially scared.
