Nash rolled his right ankle in practice Saturday, the Los Angeles Times reports.

Analysis:

The injury forced Nash to the bench, and could very well jeopardize his availability for the team's preseason opener Monday against the Nuggets. Nash dealt with some ankle issues in April, but he was inhibited primarily by a back concern last season, and he said earlier this week that he was "feeling great."
