Bulls' Pau Gasol: Will play in 2016 Summer Olympics

Gasol will play for the Spanish national team during the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the Associated Press reports.

Analysis:

It will likely be the 35-year-old's last opportunity to play in the Olympics, so despite the widespread concern about the Zika virus in Brazil, Gasol didn't want to miss out on representing his country. Before heading out to Rio, Gasol figures to resolve his pending free agency. He's expected to sign with a contender in need of another frontcourt presence.
