In a letter he posted to his personal website, Lakers big man Pau Gasol announced Tuesday that he will not play for the Spanish national team at this summer’s Eurobasket competition in Slovenia.
Gasol underwent a FAST procedure last Thursday on both of his knees to eliminate a buildup of scar tissue, and the Lakers gave a 12-week timeframe for his return. With that in mind, it’s hardly a surprise that Gasol is choosing to forego his duties with his national team, although Eurobasket will take place from Sept. 4-22, about a month after his projected return date.
