Injuries are always a risk during international ball—during any type of ball, for that matter—and it sounds like Pau Gasol might’ve tweaked an ankle while hooping for Spain this weekend. According to ESPN, Spain expects him to recover pretty quickly: “Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol is expected to be fit for the second round of EuroBasket, despite sitting out Spain’s 65-57 defeat on Turkey on Monday. The Spaniards were already guaranteed first place in Group A of the competition and opted not to risk Gasol, who sustained a minor ankle sprain during Sunday’s victory over the tournament hosts. ‘He is day to day,’ said Spain coach Sergio Scariolo. ‘He’s having treatment and the doctors will assess him before the second round begins.'”
