MEMPHIS, Tennessee (AP) Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol has a left knee sprain that won't require surgery, but the NBA defensive player of the year will be out indefinitely.
The team announced the sprain of his medial collateral ligament after a scan on Saturday.
Gasol was hurt early in the second quarter of Friday's loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Replays indicated there was little if any contact before Gasol grabbed his knee under the Spurs' basket. The Spaniard went to the Memphis locker room and did not return.
Gasol was second on the Grizzlies in points, rebounding and assists entering the game.
