The 10-11 Spurs have won just 3 of their last 10 games, and could some good news. Unfortunately, it won’t come in the form of a Pau Gasol health report. Playing just nine games so far, Gasol won’t be returning anytime soon, according to this report from the San Antonio Express-News:
Pau Gasol did not make the Spurs’ four-game road trip that ended Wednesday in Minnesota.
It could be a while before he is back on the court at all.
Further testing has revealed a stress fracture in the troublesome left foot that has already caused Gasol to miss the past 12 games.
The 38-year-old center had recently progressed to some on-court work before getting the disappointing news.
Well past his prime, Gasol plays a supporting role on the Spurs these days, but he’s still important and does a lot in very limited playing time. This season, his minutes per game have been a career-low 17.4, yet in that time he’s still putting up an impressive 6.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists on 51.2% FG. But it sounds like he won’t be back in action any time soon.
