(AP) -- Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash left Friday night's game against the Indiana Pacers with a bruised left thigh and did not return. Nash left the game early in the second quarter after playing just 11 minutes. He scored 11 points on 5-of-7 shooting. Nash, who also had his nose bloodied in the first quarter, has been instrumental in the Suns' NBA-best 31-5 start. He leads the league in assists with 11.1 per game and also averages 15.4 points on 51 percent shooting. A team spokeswoman said Nash was questionable for Saturday's game at Washington.
