Steve Nash's battles with injuries during his stay in Los Angeles have been well-documented, so his latest battle with his health might not come as a surprise.

However, per Mike Trudell of Lakers.com, the 40-year-old future Hall-of-Famer is convinced that this time will be different:

With those same "shooting pains" causing his discomfort no matter what he does (including lifting bags), the Lakers remain in a wait-and-see mode with Nash.

As Lakers Nation writer Ryan Ward reminds us, "during the off-season, the Lakers chose not to use the stretch provision on the veteran point guard. There was a lot of debate swirling about whether the team would part ways with Nash, but apparently the team didn’t see much of a positive in letting him go."

Whether that was merely financial or motivated by a belief that he could come back healthy, the Lakers remain behind Nash as he looks to get his body right and contribute to the Lakers' 2014/15 NBA season.
