Jammin Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 -- Suns guard Steve Nash will undergo surgery to repair a broken nose and displaced cartilage he suffered in Sunday night's conference finals win over the Lakers in Phoenix. Nash practiced with the team Monday before leaving to have the nose put back in place. The Suns' ear, nose and throat physician, Dr. Ryan Rehl, was to perform the procedure. Nash said he didn't expect it to be a problem in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals. Nash suffered the injury in a collision with Derek Fisher in the fourth quarter of the 118-109 victory, as the Suns cut the Lakers' series lead to 2-1. "I'm lucky. I've had a couple bumps or bruises that haven't affected my play," Nash said. "Those don't bother you. It's the ones that limit you that you hope you don't have to face." http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2010/news/story?id=5215555 Dude is a warrior: -6 stitches without drugs-Completely swollen eye-Shattered nose/cartilage, WON'T wear a mask-Bad back and hips He just keeps going.

Gilbert Arenas made $15+ million a year, would you play professional basketball on 1 leg for $7 million a year? Nash is playing through injuries that some players would miss games for.
