It's in spanish. Tony can you translate?

Nothing really serious, probably just a lil fissure, a fracture at worst. In the first case he could still play eurobasket, in the latter it could take him 4-5 weeks to recover.

Pau Gasol ha dado el susto en el último entrenamiento de la selección española al ser trasladado a un hospital de Sevilla por un golpe en la mano. El ala-pívot de los Lakers ha tenido que abandonar la sesión del combinado español, concentrado en San Fernando, por un golpe en el dedo índice de su mano izquierda, aunque todavía se desconoce el alcance de la lesión.

Gasol recibió el golpe en una jugada en la que intentó taponar a Felipe Reyes. El jugador, que se incorporó el pasado viernes a la concentración que los hombres de Scariolo realizan en la localidad gaditana, estaba participando en su cuarta sesión con el resto del grupo.

Pau Gasol ha sido trasladado a un centro médico de Sevilla, donde está pendiente de que se le practiquen pruebas, placas y radiografías con el fin de determinar el alcance del golpe.

quick translation, don't hold me to exact phrases.

Pau Gasol has given a scare in his last practice with the spanish team by being transferred to a hospital in Sevilla for an injury to the hand. The post-player for the lakers has had to abandon activities due to an injury to the index finger on the left hand, although the extent of the injury is still unknown.

Pau received the injury while trying to block Felipe Reyes. The player joined the team this past friday, this was his 4th practice.

Pau Gasol was transferred to the medical center in Sevilla, where he is awaiting tests and xrays in order to determine the extent of the injury.

Damn. Rest Pau, shut down Kobe. John Wall, here we come.

I hate this playing year round stuff. This is why Odom signing was so crucial. I think Phil needs to give Gasol a long rest in the begining of the season. I would shut down Gasol and Kobe and not play them in the offseason and maybe even if the first 5-8 games we lose alot of whatever I play them very little, maybe even Odom to.
Let Bynum and Artest carry the team all preseason and first 5 games.

Who's John Wall?

[Magicontinues]

. I would shut down Gasol and Kobe and not play them in the offseason and maybe even if the first 5-8 games we lose alot of whatever I play them very little, maybe even Odom to.

Not a chance of that happening, every game is important to get home court.

I´ll try to translate. Sorry for my english.

Pau could miss the Eurobasket.
Pau Gasol was operated by emergency in his hand by the stroke he suffered in the finger and will be around three weeks to recover, so their participation in the Eurobasket isn´t sure.

By the way, it could be fine for the Lakers, he will rest and in September will be probably recovered.

Im glad were talking nicely civaly again magic. I liked you before that superman post so hopefully we could avoid all that crap.

I agree with you in a sence but they need to be smart and get Gasol and Kobe a rest somehow.

Couldn't Bynum-Odom-Artest carry the team and still win if Kobe and Gasol play less minutes as a season strategy?

Good find Dex

[Dexmor]

Thanks. Hoopshype.com

Once they said left hand that was the end of story for me, at least it wasn't his shooting hand. Pau can use both.But his main hand is his right which is the shooting hand. He'll have plenty of time before training camp to get well.

[Dexmor]

Yeah I know but I figured I would share with my Lakerbrothern.

I still think Gasol and Kobe need to skip preseason and they should really be careful with them (phil)

[daddyfivestar]

Damn. Rest Pau, shut down Kobe. John Wall, here we come.

Who's John Wall?

Really? You are really asking this question on realgm????????

[iamworthy]

Looks like he actually broke his fingure. He's already had surgery, out about 3 weeks.

[Patterns]

Great news! Now he gets to rest.

[Mamba Venom]

Not serious

I guess surgery isnt THAT serious but its serious enough to need surgery

[supaflash]

Anyone remember the days when a broken bone got a cast for 6 weeks? Its always surgery now...

Anyway, I think this is a blessing in disguise... get some rest big fella, you just won a chip and we need you for another one!

[lakersfanatic]

lucky it wasn't his ring finger hehehe.

Is it me or does he seem to play harder in europe. I remember watching him play in the olympics and wanting that same pau in LA. He was a beast playing for spain. Even though we won the championship, it wasn't that beast that we saw then but i'll take whatever if it gets us the W. hehe
