Gasol getting close
Forward-center Pau Gasol sat out his third game because of a hamstring injury, though he will accompany the team for its quick trip to Oklahoma City and Houston.
Gasol's return to the lineup is "close enough" that Gasol will not stay back in Los Angeles, Lakers Coach Phil Jackson said.
Jackson revealed that Gasol typically would need six weeks to recover fully from his injury.
"We don't have six weeks," Jackson said. "There are ways to come through this without having to jeopardize him."
Gasol has been out three weeks because of the injury, also sitting out the team's last six exhibition games.
