Byron Scott is wrong for even presenting it like this to the media.
According to Mike Bresnahan, Steve Nash will miss the Lakers preseason game against the Jazz on Thursday with a sore back after hurting himself carrying bags.
Nash hurt his back carrying bags today, Byron Scott said. Did not practice. Wouldn't count on him playing Thursday vs. Utah.

The 40-year-old Nash probably will start the season on the bench behind point guard Jeremy Lin. That’s probably a good thing.
