Two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash has played well during his short time back from injury recently, but still can’t seem to stay healthy and likely won’t play tomorrow against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
According to Lakers Nation reporter Serena Winters, Nash doesn’t think he’ll play on Thursday:

Nash’s nerve issues flared up during the loss to the Utah Jazz on Tuesday forcing him to sit out the second half. Apparently, Nash wouldn’t have played against the Jazz if the Lakers had a full roster:

With Nash continuing to deal with injury issues, the end of the veteran’s career in the NBA may be drawing near. Although Nash remains reluctant to retire, the future Hall of Famer may not have much of a choice if the injury problems continue in the second half of the season.
