WIKIPEDIA:
Nash suffers from a medical condition called spondylolisthesis, a forward movement of one of the vertebrae in the spine in relation to the one below it, causing muscle tightness and back pain. Nash tries not to let his condition mar his performance on the hardwood. He tries to keep moving while on the court. When he is taking a rest, he does not sit on the bench, but rather lies supine on the end line to keep his muscles from stiffening.[sup][39][/sup]
