The Lakers won't have future Hall of Famers Kobe Bryant or Steve Nash back for tonight's game against the visiting Trail Blazers, but their returns might not be far off, coach Mike D'Antoni revealed before the game. Bryant, who underwent surgery for a torn Achilles tendon in April, could make his season debut Friday at Sacramento, the next game after tonight. "It might happen; it might not," D'Antoni said of Bryant's return. Nash has missed 10 of the last 11 games with nerve irritation that's affecting his back and hamstrings, but is expected to return to practice Tuesday. Nash traveled to Vancouver, British Columbia with his personal trainer, Rick Celebrini, and underwent rehab while the Lakers were on a three-game road trip earlier this week. The Lakers went 2-1 on the road trip to go over .500 for the first time this season.
