It was reported earlier by Paul Garcia of Project Spurs that Gasol would start
Friday’s contest, but coach Gregg Popovich has seemingly had a change of heart,
and has opted to continue starting Dewayne Dedmon at the five for the time
being. It’s unclear whether or not Gasol will be on a minutes restriction, or
see less than his usual 26.4 minutes per game, but it’s likely that he’ll regain
his role as a starter sooner than later.
