{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}
Los Angeles Lakers guard Steve Nash will miss Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a lower left leg contusion.
Nash suffered the injury during Wednesday's 116-106 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers after colliding with rookie Damian Lillard in the second quarter.
The two-time MVP returned for the start of third quarter, but left the game again just over a minute later and did not return.
