Pau Gasol felt a pop in the bottom of his foot during the Los Angeles Lakers' 92-83 win at the Brooklyn Nets.
Gasol will have an MRI on Wednesday and the fear is that he tore his plantar fascia.
Gasol left the arena on crutches.

From Sam Smith of Bulls.com:
It turns out Richard Hamilton tore his plantar fascia in his left foot late in the third quarter of the Bulls Saturday night win over the 76ers, according to Bulls sources.
But that’s sort of the good news.
Plantar fasciitis, the painful inflammation on the bottom of the foot, can last months. At times, treatment will include a tear so the healing can begin more quickly. Thus, this is not generally considered as serious an injury and Hamilton could play again in a week or two.

How does that effect his trade value though?... effect our playoff chances. We're already without Dwight. Damn.
Trade deadline is 2 weeks away, so I guess Gasol could return a couple weeks after that... still though

I would guess a significant hit. The teams that would be interested in Gasol would be teams that are looking to contend this year. But if he's out for a few weeks (let's say 15 games) you would need to have a team that would be good enough to be on track of making the playoffs (at the seed they want) without Gasol and without the players they give up.
So, unless the Lakers fear about not making the playoffs and really want to make a push for this season and accept a deal they would not have considered yesterday...what kind of a deal do you really think would work out for both parties.
