Pau Gasol will miss the tour of the Lakers

This week, we would serve to check if the Lakers can wrap up the win in the NBA. Or at least, to see if they are well above the rest, upper, slightly above, or anything else has been a mirage.

However, in the first crucial game of the week, against New Orleans Hornets, Pau Gasol was injured in the third minute and could not see the Lakers in full swing. It appears that Gasol has a sprained left ankle and can not play any of the 3 games he has left the Lakers for this tour: Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz (all away).

Kobe Bryant will have to play like previous seasons is doing, and if they leave in good standing of this tour, it will be clear who is the team that will give more war in the West in these playoffs.

Will they be able to cut the run of the Houston Rockets?
