Last night in the Lakers’ victory over the Brooklyn Nets, forward Pau Gasol went down in the fourth quarter with an apparent foot injury. Following the game, Gasol revealed that he heard a pop in his foot and required crutches to leave the arena. After getting the MRI results on Wednesday afternoon, it’s been announced that Gasol will indeed be out for quite awhile.

According to Ken Berger of CBS Sports, Gasol is out for at least six weeks.

Gasol hopes to return before the end of the season, but it will most likely be a difficult rehab process as well.

    last year we needed a good bench and fix our transition D , that being said .. we need a center who can play defense + quick = NBA FINALS !

    whoever wants to play with Kobe .. Kobe will get him a ring !!

    Great, my worst fears came true. And just when he was getting back to vintage Pau, this happens…I swear it’s like they’ve been jinxed with injuries. :/ Gotta stay positive and hope for the best regardless. Even though the team won’t have him in the line up, I think they’ll hold up pretty well. GO LAKERS! Wishing Pau a safe and speedy recovery.
