Gasol (conditioning) will play Thursday against Philadelphia, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol will be limited to 15 minutes as his minutes will be restricted since he's been out dating back to Feb. 28 while in the league's health and safety protocols. The 36-year-old center could potentially return to the starting lineup, but he likely won't be able to make much of a fantasy impact due to the small workload.

Gasol (conditioning) will not play Tuesday against the Pelicans, Harrison Faigen of Silver Screen and Roll reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol will continue to miss time while ramping up his conditioning after an extended absence due to COVID-19 protocols. With Anthony Davis (calf, Achilles) and LeBron James (ankle) sidelined, more offensive responsibilities in the frontcourt will likely funnel to Markieff Morris, Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell.

Gasol is not listed on the Lakers' official injury report, though coach Frank Vogel intimated Sunday that Gasol will likely miss more time while he works on his conditioning.
EDGE Analysis
The big man is technically cleared to play Tuesday, but he's missed the last eight games due to health and safety protocols, and as of Sunday night it did not sound like he was close to being ready for game action. Vogel described the veteran as "wiped out" and noted that he'd likely miss "a few more games" while improving his conditioning.

Gasol (conditioning) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Suns, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Frank Vogel described the veteran big man as "wiped out" after missing time due to the league's health and safety protocols, and he noted that Gasol could miss "a few more games" as he works back into shape. With Anthony Davis (calf) and LeBron James (ankle) both sidelined, the Lakers' roster is suddenly extremely bare, so Montrezl Harrell will likely pick up significant minutes over the next few games -- especially after the Lakers parted ways with 10-day signee Damian Jones.

Gasol (coach's decision) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Suns, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol hasn't played since late February due to the NBA's health and safety protocols, but he's now eligible to return to the court. With Lebron James (ankle) and Anthony Davis (calf) both out, Gasol's presence will be a notable boost for the Lakers.

Gasol won't play Saturday against Atlanta for conditioning purposes, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol wasn't initially on the injury report for Saturday's game since he cleared the league's health and safety protocols, but he won't play against the Hawks. In his absence, Montrezl Harrell and Damian Jones should handle increased roles for the Lakers.

Gasol (COVID-19 protocols) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol missed the last six games due to the league's health and safety protocols but should be back in action against the Hawks on Saturday. It's not yet clear whether he'll have any restrictions during his first game back.

Coach Frank Vogel said Gasol (COVID-19 protocols) remains out for Thursday's game against the Hornets but "has joined the Lakers and is expected to be on the bench," Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol is still officially in the health and safety protocols, but with Vogel insinuating that he'll be physically rejoining teammates on the bench Thursday, it would appear that he's quickly approaching full clearance. Thursday will mark Gasol's sixth consecutive missed game due to the health and safety protocols.

Gasol (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 36-year-old will be unavailable for the sixth consecutive contest due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. It's unclear when Gasol is expected to return, though his next chance to do so will come Saturday versus the Hawks.

Gasol (COVID-19 protocols) will miss at least two more games, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Coach Frank Vogel, Gasol and Kostas Antetokounmpo will not be available for the next two games as they remain in the league COVID-19 protocols. Montrezl Harrell and Damian Jones should see increased run at center for the Lakers as long as Gasol is sidelined.
