Nash won't rule out playing for Canada

Has Nash played his last game for Canada?

"I can't answer that," said the 29-year-old Nash, whose Dallas Mavericks opened the NBA season with a 109-93 loss to the hometown Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. "It's too early to say.

"It's not getting any easier to play for Canada, the older I get and the more games I've played. But when's the next time I even could play for Canada, two full years from now? So it's too soon to say. I guess it's what you'd call a game-time decision."
