STEVE NASH PREDICTS ONE MORE SEASON
Los Angeles Lakers guard and Team Canada’s general manager, Steve Nash has admitted that next season will most likely be his last as he spoke to Slovenian reporters after Slovenia beat Canada in a FIBA World Cup warm-up.
“I think this is my last season,” said the 40-year-old Nash in a video posted by Sport TV. “But I still love to play, practice and work on my game. I’m going to spend hopefully many, many years living this life without basketball. It’ll be nice to play one more year.”
Nash is just coming off a season in which he only made 15 appearances, averaging 6.8 points and 5.7 assists per game under head coach Mike D’Antoni. The Lakers look more than likely to start recently signed Jeremy Lin at the point this season, so Nash’s minutes will more than likely drop as a result.
