D’Antoni on Nash’s health: “It’s tougher on him than anybody. He wants in the worst way to perform (for his team).”

Nash played just 13 minutes in the first half and was slow to come out of the locker room in the second half.
Steve Nash very concerned about nerve problem in his back. Reluctant even to say much because it's an "emotional" time.

Nash said major part of frustration is he wants to play but doesn't know when or where "a cleanish bill of health" might be.
