Sadly, Pau Gasol announced yesterday that he was would be waived by the Portland Trail Blazers as he hadn’t recovered sufficiently from the foot injury he suffered last year.
Pau Gasol was signed by the Portland Trail Blazers in the summer on a veterans minimum deal in the hope that he could provide some big man minutes while Jusuf Nurkic was out injured. Gasol had surgery to repair the foot last year but as him and the team realised this week, he wasn’t progressing at the rate both parties would have liked.
