His replacement, center Chris Kaman, also is a game-time decision for the Lakers' with an ankle sprain. He did participate in shootaround this morning, which is considered encouraging.
Gasol has been one of few healthy veterans on this Lakers team. While he has missed three of the past five games, Gasol played in the first 26 contests of the season, as ESPN.com pointed out.
In his 13th season, Gasol has averaged 14.7 points and 9.4 rebounds this season.
