Kosta Koufos News: Koufos is the most likely candidate to step into the starting center role, as Marc Gasol has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain and is out indefinitely, USA Today reports.

Koufos is the most likely candidate to step into the starting center role, as Marc Gasol has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain and is out indefinitely, USA Today reports.

Koufous currently averages just over 17 minutes per game, but this stands to nearly double in the absence of Marc Gasol and the 34 minutes per night he contributed. Similar injuries have cost NBA players over a month in the past, so Koufos would be a quality pickup for owners looking to add points, rebounds and the occasional block in the short term.
