Spurs rule out Pau Gasol (shoulder) for Thursday

San Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

It has been hinted that the injury is a fairly serious one, and it's being listed as a sprained AC joint. Look for either Davis Bertans or Joffrey Lauvergne to replace Gasol in the starting lineup, while both stand to see increased run.

Gasol has averaged 10.7 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.1 blocks in 25.0 minutes per game this season.
