Pau Gasol offers not-so-awesome injury forecast for brother Marc Gasol
Chicago's Pau Gasol is having a much better week than his younger brother, Marc Gasol. Despite three consecutive losses for the Bulls, Gasol was named to the Eastern Conference All-Star team.
Happy to be at the #NBAAllStarTO representing the #Bulls, especially my teammate @JimmyButler who will miss the game due to injury. #SeeRed

Grizzlies' big man Marc Gasol, however, is out indefinitely with a broken right foot. After an MRI on Tuesday revealed a fracture in his foot, Memphis announced it'd be without its star for the foreseeable future. It's unclear when the injury occurred, but it's a big loss for the Grizzlies.
Marc Gasol is averaging 16.6 points with 7.0 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals per game. He hadn't yet missed a game for Memphis this season. But according to his older brother, Pau, things aren't great.
"He's not doing well," said Pau, via Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson.

Pau Gasol will represent the Eastern Conference in the upcoming All-Star Game, replacing injured teammate Jimmy Butler, who is recovering from a strained left knee and is expected out for three to four weeks.
