Gasol Still Out

Pau Gasol got his first ever championship ring just before the Lakers began their title defense on Tuesday night with a 99-92 win on opening night. But he didn't play. Three nights later, the Lakers looked sluggish, still without Gasol, in a 94-80 loss at Staples to Dallas.

Tonight, the Lakers hope to get back on the winning track against Atlanta, but Gasol will not be available again. Gasol is still nursing a sore hamstring that has kept him out of action since early in the pre-season.

The Lakers aren't too concerned about it, but Gasol is, as there is no timetable for his return. While he's still listed as day-to-day, it seems more like he's week-to-week.

Hopefully they can get him back sooner rather than later.
