The Grizzlies are all but eliminated from the playoff chase, which limits some of the incentive for players to play through pain. Therefore, it comes as little surprise that starting center Marc Gasol will be shut down for the rest of the season with a neck injury, according to Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Marc Gasol Out For Season With Neck Injury
Gasol reaggravated the injury against the Mavericks last night. He had missed five games before returning for the last two. He was a candidate for the Most Improved Player award after an outstanding season for the surprising Grizzlies.
Rookie Hasheem Thabeet will start in Gasol's place.
