Gasol is dealing with a shoulder injury and his status for Thursday's game against the Warriors remains in question, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems that Gasol picked up the injury at some point during Monday's 24-minute outing against the Grizzlies, although the extent of the injury remains unclear. If he's unable to play at Oracle, Joffrey Lauvergne and Davis Bertans will be in line for additional playing time.

Gasol scored 19 points (8-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, eight assists and three blocks in 33 minutes during Saturday's 116-112 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
With LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) and Kawhi Leonard (quad) both out, Gasol stepped up and showed he still has a little something left in the tank. The 37-year-old is averaging 13.4 points, 10.2 boards, 4.6 assists and 1.8 blocks over his last five games, but once Aldridge is back in the lineup expect Gasol's minutes and usage to get dialed back once again.

Gasol (knee) is starting Saturday against the Lakers, Paul Garcia of TheSportsDaily.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Gasol is set to return to action after missing the previous game with a bone bruise in his left knee. The big man should return to his normal workload, though it's possible he sees some extra run with LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) sidelined. Gasol is averaging 10.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 block across 24.9 minutes per game this season.

Gasol (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's tilt against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol missed Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans due to a bone bruise in his left knee, though was back at practice Friday and apparently felt significant improvement at Saturday's morning shootaround. If he weren't dealing with an injury, coach Gregg Popovich may be inclined to throw him some extra run with LaMarcus Aldridge (ankle) ruled out. But, it seems likely he'll see his usual run given the scenario, with Joffrey Lauvergne and Davis Bertans probably seeing expanded roles. In the month of February, Gasol has averaged 9.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and a combined 1.9 steals/blocks.

EDGE Analysis
Gasol missed Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans due to a bone bruise in his left knee, though was back at practice Friday.

Gasol (knee) was seen participating in Friday's practice, Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gasol was held out of Wednesday's game against the Pelicans due to a bone bruise in his left knee, but his participation in Friday's practice sessions is an encouraging sign for his status for Saturday's outing against the Lakers. Expect another update on Gasol to come following the team's shootaround Saturday morning.

Gasol (knee) underwent an MRI on left knee Wednesday and it showed no structural damage, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is a positive for Gasol, who sat out Wednesday's game against the Pelicans with a left knee bruise. He should be considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Lakers, with more information on his injury coming in the next few days.

Gasol (knee) is out for Wednesday's tilt against the Pelicans, Jabari Young of the San Antonio Express-News reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Gasol, who was listed as doubtful for Wednesday with a left knee bone bruise, will not take the floor against the Pelicans. In his stead, Joffrey Lauvergne and Davis Bertans are candidates to see extra run in the frontcourt.

Gasol is doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the Pelicans as the result of a left knee bone bruise.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first news of Gasol dealing with an injury, so it may have occurred during Sunday's game against the Cavaliers. More information on his availability should arrive following the team's Wednesday morning shootaround, though it's unlikely he'll be able to play through the ailment. Assuming he misses the contest, Joffrey Lauvergne and Davis Bertans are two strong candidates to see an uptick in workload.

Gasol delivered 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes in Sunday's 110-94 win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran center turned in a typically solid performance, posting his fourth consecutive double-digit scoring effort in the process. The 37-year-old has seen a nice uptick in usage during the extended absences of Kawhi Leonard (quadriceps) this season, and he's complemented his recent serviceable offensive production with strong work on the glass. Factoring in Sunday's line, Gasol has hauled in between seven and 15 rebounds in seven of eight February contests, hitting double digits on the boards in four of those games. While frontcourt mate LaMarcus Aldridge is the team's unquestioned offensive linchpin, Gasol remains a consistently complementary source of scoring, rebounds, assists and blocks for both the Spurs and fantasy owners.
