Steve Nash Probable for New Orleans Hornets Game Wednesday
Steve Nash suffered a thigh bruise on the final play in Saturday night's victory against the Memphis Grizzlies. Nash fought through a Marc Gasol pick and was kneed in the thigh for his efforts.
Today Nash practiced with the Phoenix Suns after missing Monday night's debacle against the Dallas Mavericks prompting the following tweets from Paul Coro and Craig Grialou:
Nash would be a welcomed a readdition to a Suns squad that is 10-25 without Nash in his second tenure with the Suns. In 38 games against the Hornets, Nash has averaged 13 points and 9 assists. Nash has scored in double figures in 6 of the Suns last 8 games while averaging near 10 assists.
Wednesday the Suns face David Stern's 4-17 Hornets who are missing Eric Gordon and losers of 4 of their last 5. It would be nice to be able to sit Nash against the awful Hornets but Phoenix is in no position to be taking an team for granted, especially the Hornets who bested them opening night, 85-84.

Best case scenario:
Nash plays, gives us an early lead, and takes a seat after 20 or so minutes. That way he can test it out, get it loose, and still get us the W.
It would be nice for the best case scenario to play out at least once this year.
Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!

Our quota has already been filled in the PTL game, unfortunately.

That would be nice,
if Nash could give us an early lead.

I think our only chance would be to play him at the end of the game to give us the win. I mean, seriously, that’s when we always need the most help!
I hope they keep him out. He could probably use the rest. If we lose, we’re closer to a higher lottery pick. If we win without him, its a confidence booster. Either way, we can’t lose! he he.

Who is left in NOLA?
Kaman out, Gordon out. This should be a good game for us, and without Nash would be a test of how truly bad we are.
7-59 baby!!!!!

I hope he plays
I’m still deciding whether to go to the game or not and that would swing me one way or the other.

I don't see the point in rushing Nash back
We are not going to make the playoffs. I’d rest him so it can heal up and not become a nagging injury that drags on.
If we do play him
NOLA is a good team to play against. We can win that game.
Yes we can win it...
But there are no teams in the NBA that the Suns can rest their laurels on as a “sure-win.”
Either we play to win and play Nash 30-35 minutes or we start Price and let Nash heal up…
Remember this team beat us at home without Eric Gordon….
Let's do this...!
Nash looking good in the suit
we cant think of any game as a turn up and win cos thats what makes you loose a game.
if nash starts we should be in for a competitive game and hopefully a win.
