Gasol
Lakers Center Pau Gasol rolled his left ankle at the 9:45 mark of the first quarter of the Lakers-Hornets game. He was immediately taken to the locker room. UPDATE from John Ireland (Sideline Broadcaster for Lakers) at 5:25 PST: Gasol has a sprained left ankle and he will not return tonight. X-rays are pending.

    The Lakers play the Hornets tonight (in progress), Houston on Sunday, Dallas on Tuesday and Utah on Thursday. ALL on the ROAD. How would they fare without Gasol, I wonder?
  • theyll lose those games without gasol. it evens everything out now and once bynum comes back, it will be like before the trade. i hope memphis comes up empty in free agency so that they screwed themselves in the gasol trade

    Uh oh...not good news for Laker fans. I had no idea they had such a tough schedule coming up. I wonder how much time he is going to have to miss.

    X-rays came up negative, but if Gasol sits, the Lakers will lose games unless they pull a Houston.

    I think Kobe can single-handily will the Lakers to victory on Sunday against Houston. I mean come on, these are games Kobe lives for.

    As for Utah and Dallas, I'm not so sure. Both teams--especially Dallas--want a shot at the banged up Lakers.
  • i think kobe will single-handedly want to end that win streak. but i think the houston team still may have the advantage if gasol does not play

    If it were his right ankle I would be concerned. But everyone knows Gasol has one of the toughest left ankles in the game.
