Spurs rule out Pau Gasol (foot) for Friday

San Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol (foot) will not play on Friday.

What It Means:

This will be the ninth-straight game on the shelf for Pau, and Jakob Poeltl should continue to pick up some additional minutes in his absence, while Dante Cunningham gets a bump in playing time as they go small more often.

In nine games this season, Gasol has averaged 6.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 17.4 minutes per game.
