Pau Gasol unlikely to play against Warriors with ‘bad’ shoulder injury

Pau Gasol appears unlikely to play in the San Antonio Spurs’ game on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors due to a shoulder injury.

Gasol injured his shoulder on Monday night in a collision with his brother Marc, who plays for the Memphis Grizzlies. After the game, Spurs point guard Tony Parker said Gasol was unlikely to play on Thursday because of the injury.

Parker said Pau Gasol injured his shoulder, putting his participation against the Warriors in doubt. "He told me it was bad," Tony said. "So we will see, but I'm pretty sure he's not going to play against Golden State." Pau collided with his brother in the second half. #Spurs
