Pau Gasol has been hoping to return to the NBA at some point, but he's now considering retirement.

“With this recovery process and the injury that I have been dealing with for more than a year, it’s undoubtedly inevitable to think about retirement,” Gasol said. “Also taking into account that I will be 40 years old in a few months. So it’s definitely in my mind.”

Gasol was released by the Portland Trail Blazers in November as he was unable to work his way back from a foot injury.

“It’s something that will come one time, sooner or later. We hope that time hasn’t come yet. But I also take the opportunity to focus on the Gasol Foundation and other off-court projects. And also think of what my next professional stage may be, my next challenges. All this while I’m still recovering, trying to give myself a chance to keep playing. Now, the priority is to overcome this pandemic among all. Everything else is completely secondary.”

He should ring chase with his brother Marc!

Just go back to Portland.

That is a hooper! ride that mofo till the wheels come off pau!

He would be a good assistance coach in a development capacity.

If he does retire, I look forward to the day they retire his jersey up in staples. Sad Kobe won't be there to give a speech ),:

I swear i thought he announced his retirement on social media after the Blazers waived him. It actually upsets me to see him hang on for way too long, he is a future HOF whose career is going to end in a whimper because no one cares anymore. This is what happens when you should've retired 4 years ago...after the stint in Chicago, but for sure after his stay in San Antonio.
