Steve Nash Breaks Nose, Adds To His Distinguished Collection Of Freak Accidents

When we last left Steve Nash, he looked like a battered, homeless hippie:

For good measure, he broke his nose Sunday night. Video of the injury is after the jump.

According to Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports, Nash has a "minimally displaced nasal fracture with displaced cartilage. He will undergo minor reduction today to put nose back in place." So what does that look like, exactly?

Nash isn’t expected to miss any game time, but DAMN. How many more injuries can this guy suffer? With Nash in the playoffs, it’s not a matter of “when,” “how,” or “if” he’ll get injured, but “who’s elbow is he going to run into, and what part of his face will it ravage?” To his credit, Nash doesn’t seem to mind too much, presumably because if you’re a Canadian playing sports without stitches, you’re not really Canadian.

So where do we go from here? Well, he’s due for at least a bloody lip in Game 4, right? Maybe Ron Artest will bite his ear off, Tyson-style? Or just sink teeth into his neck, Ron Artest-style.

Whatever the case, with Steve Nash, it’s no blood, no foul... Because he must not be playing.
