Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash will be inactive for tonight?s game at Portland due to right shoulder inflammation. Guard/forward Eric Piatkowski will take his spot on the Suns active roster.

Nash, who earned his fifth NBA All-Star berth on Feb. 1, did not play in the second half of last night?s 113-108 victory at Denver after tallying nine points, three rebounds and a team-high seven assists in the first half.
