Gasol (calf) will not play Thursday against the Kings, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Gasol will miss his second straight game with a strained left calf. Taj Gibson, who played 41 minutes in Monday's victory over the Clippers, will get the start and figures to again see major minutes. Derrick Rose is also out again for Chicago, so Kirk Hinrich and Aaron Brooks will also see increased roles.
