Gasol still sore after debut
According to the LA Times, Pau Gasol was still sore on Saturday after his season debut Thursday night, but the pain was not in his injured hamstring.
Our View: Gasol felt the burn in his legs and back, so it's likely a product of him being out of shape and running at game speed for the first time all year. He should be able to shake it off and play through the pain though. Since the hammy is sound, he should remain in all fantasy lineups.

Gasol to be out a while longer
News: The Orange County Register reports that Pau Gasol will not play Thursday or Friday and that he may miss the next two weeks as he continues to slowly recover from a hamstring injury. Gasol made clear he intends to be more cautious than ever in rehabbing his strained right hamstring after feeling ongoing pain after he pushes the hamstring hard. Even though that MRI showed his hamstring had healed, his discomfort is guiding him to delay his season debut more. "The muscle didnt respond well to it," Gasol said of his latest high-intensity test. "So it's just a way of it telling me that it's not healed and not ready to play. So we've just got to take a step back and do the rehab again and take it a little slower. It has been discouraging at times; pretty rough days. But just try to stay positive." [...]

Our View: Gasol has yet to play this season, and has barely practice in the past month. The team is optimistic that he may be able to play this Thursday, but with the way things have gone so far, that should be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism.

I just hope that I can increase the level of work that I'm doing right now until I feel good about it and my hamstring responds well." [...]

Lakers' big man Pau Gasol has ruled himself out from playing against the Grizzlies on Friday, according to the LA Times. Gasol hopes to return to practice on Thursday.

Our View: The results of Gasol's MRI were positive and showed that the hamstring strain is not too severe, but he still won't be ready in time to face the Rockets. A return against the Grizzlies on Friday is a more likely scenario, but still not a guarantee. Keep Gasol on your bench until he is fully healed or at has at least been given medical clearance to play.

I didn't expect it to be this way, but we're doing what we have to do." [...]
Gasol could miss more time
The Los Angeles Times reports that Pau Gasol could miss a couple more games due to his lingering hamstring pain. Coach Phil Jackson added that Gasol will not likely be at 100 percent once he does return.
Our View: Gasol is one of the best fantasy big men in the game, so his continued absence is hurting owners pretty bad. He likely won't be 100 percent because hamstring injuries linger and it takes a lot of time before the injury is back to complete health.
