Report: Steve Nash to miss entire 2014-2015 season with nerve damage

Bleacher Report reports that Lakers point guard and two-time-former MVP Steve Nash will miss the entire 2014-2015 season due to recurring nerve damage in his back.

Nash is expected to be ruled out for the 2014-15 NBA season because of recurring nerve damage in his back, according to league sources.

Nash, 40, had said he expects this 19th NBA season to be his final one. But he has not announced his retirement. Nash has not stated an intention of playing for a team away from Los Angeles and his children, saying in March that he would be done if the Lakers used their stretch provision to cut him for salary-cap savings: "That would be it. I'll either be back here or I'll be done."

And that's probably it. That's probably, most likely, how it ends for the future Hall of Famer. Nash wanted to see if he could get through this season, but was pretty clear that this was his final year. And now he doesn't even get to say goodbye to the game he loves.
