The Grizzlies’ Marc Gasol has been out nursing a torn abdominal muscle. Your abs are the core of your body, and with that injury it probably makes brushing your teeth difficult, let alone playing basketball.
With Gasol, the Grizzlies are a force to be reckoned with. He makes them a very balanced, complete team. But without him, they are nothing special.
Either way, Gasol plans to be ready for the playoffs, even if he has to play in pain.
“No, no, no,” Gasol said. “We’re going to try to keep (treating it) and when it feels good and gets better, I’ll get out there. I don’t care if it hurts a little bit. I have no problem with that. We’re going with indefinite. But it’s going to go game-by-game, day-by-day.”
