AT&T CENTER – After Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, San Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol will have missed 10 games this season. Gasol has missed the Spurs’ last seven games after fracturing and then having surgery on his left fourth metacarpal.
Though the Spurs never officially released a timetable for Gasol’s return, Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich revealed Thursday that Gasol could be returning just before or after All-Star break.
“They tell me that maybe at the beginning of All-Star break, somewhere around there, maybe he can play a game,” said Popovich. “If not, when we return, he should be able to.
