Is the finger healed or isn’t it?

Pau Gasol will not play in Spain’s final tune-up game against Lithuania on Thursday because the doctor said he could risk further damage to his left index finger that he inujred last month while practicing with the Spanish National team.

In an interview with well-known Spanish journalist Jose Angel de la Casa (who probably can’t compare to Vic the Brick), Gasol said he hopes to get medical clearance by the time the European Championships begin Sept. 7.

“I’ll do everything I can to get confidence and that the finger get used to the situations of ball contact,” the Lakers forward said in the interview posted on his website...

the important news here is that pau gasol has a website. news to me.

He has trained at 100% intensity for the past couple of days.
He will be ready for opening game of Eurobasket next Monday

I wish he wouldn't play but I know he has obligations to his country. With all of the games some rest would be best for him this offseason. Hopefully Bynum and Odom play well enough to lessen his minutes during the regular season.

If he is healthy when training camp starts and misses some spain games then blessing in disguise.

i wonder if it's anything like sasha's?

Get that ugly uniform off him and bring him home to rest and train with the best in the world and get the best medical treatment in the world. We need him for the long run. Well rested and 100 percent healthy. He does not need some useless little trophy that no one will remember in a month from now.

I hate us playing in the olympics and other leagues.

[DEEP3CL]

Ehh......he'll be aright.

training camp opens oct 1 (3 1/2 weeks)
euro championships start tomorrow (9/7)

for the lakers sake i hope he doesn't play but obviously hes got a loyalty to his country so can't fault him for that. if he missed a couple of spain's early games and came back for the finals rounds i couldn't complain. just concerned about the heavy minutes hes logged in la during two seasons that ran late thru june with the an olympic summer in between...

[lakersdynasty]

they gonna broadcast today´s game of euro here in Brazil, I´ll pay attention to gasol, that would be good if he just rest, i mean the guy is injured!!plus spain got the 2nd best team in the world they may just get the 1rst place without gasol...

[lakersdynasty]

good news, gasol is not on the starting five, the game just started, gonna check if hes on the bench....

Once again for Spain, Gasol is having huge problems at the charity line. He's 1/8!!!!

Score is Serbia 64 Spain 55...
