Los Angeles Lakers point guard Steve Nash believes he will be out a while longer, and the team has begun weighing options to bolster its point guard corps.

A source told ESPNLosAngeles.com that the Lakers' options at this point are somewhat limited, but they'll likely consider free agents such as Delonte West, who was cut by the Dallas Mavericks in October, and Eddie House, as well as a trade.

The Lakers remain committed to their core group of players, the source said, but feel they must address the situation at point guard with Nash's situation difficult to get a handle on.

"I think it will be at least another two weeks," Nash told USA TODAY Sports late Monday night. "I can move. I can shoot. I just can't run full speed. And I'm not even in shape. I'll probably need at least a week of practice once I start running."

Nash fractured his left fibula in a collision with Portland Trail Blazers rookie Damian Lillard on Oct. 31. During the rehabilitation process, however, Nash began suffering from nerve irritation, which is far more troublesome and difficult to treat, in the area.

The Lakers (9-13) reached another low point Tuesday with a 100-94 loss in Cleveland and have only a win over the New Orleans Hornets in the past six games.

Without Nash, the Lakers have turned to guards Chris Duhon, Darius Morris and Steve Blake.

Duhon has averaged 8.8 points and 7.8 assists as the Lakers' starting point guard the past four games. Before that, second-year man Morris averaged just 5.5 points and 2.6 assists as the starter. Blake was supposed to be the long-term solution and averaged 5.8 points and 3.0 assists in five games at the helm, but suffered an abdominal injury that has forced him to undergo surgery.

Since Dec. 4 (a span of five games), Duhon and Morris have combined for 43 points (37 by Duhon). Duhon has been held to six or fewer points in three of those games. Morris has been held scoreless in four of five games, with the Lakers losing all four.
