Are you missing watching Steve Nash play sports already? Well, good news! He’s coming back. Maybe. Kind of. According to a report in the New York Daily News, Steve Nash has been training with the New York Cosmos B Team of the National Premier Soccer League.

Steve Nash is making a comeback in New York. Just not in basketball.

The future NBA Hall of Famer trained this week the New York Cosmos B Team of the National Premier Soccer League, the Daily News has learned, and there’s a possibility he plays Sunday in a game against the Rhode Island Reds.

The team has been having a pretty good season, so Nash will have big shoes to fill if he gets in.
