Steve Nash says there’s no urgency to play Kyrie Irving @ IND on Jan. 5 BUT he didn’t it rule out: “I don’t think it’s smart to rush him into games. There’s only 50 games left. It’s when he’s ready. If he’s ready for Indiana, great. If he’s not, we push it to the next one.” – 1:19 PM

“I don’t make assumptions about tomorrow in today’s NBA.”
Those words, from David Fizdale, sum up what pretty much an entire league is thinking right now, on a day where Kyrie cleared protocols and other players and coaches joined that list.
