MEMPHIS – Two days after collapsing to the court with neck soreness from a collision, Grizzlies’ center Marc Gasol went through practice and intends to play in Saturday’s game against the Suns.
Gasol confirmed Friday that an MRI test did not reveal any structural damage to his neck and that some of the initial soreness and stiffness have eased the past 36 hours with treatment.
“I went through everything, and it feels much better,” Gasol said of participating in Friday’s scrimmage sessions in practice after Wednesday’s fall. “It was a bad scare when it happened, but thankfully, imaging showed there was no structural damage and nothing was too bad.
