Lakers Rumors: Steve Nash Denying Reports of Possible Retirement

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Steve Nash has been absent with a back injury, and while rumors have surfaced of a possible early retirement, the former MVP has dismissed those rumors.

Nash has only played in six games this season, and he hasn't played since November 10 due to a back injury, which has apparently been very painful.  Longtime NBA writer Peter Vecsey tweeted out that he was hearing that Nash was considering retirement due to the pain.
