Pau Gasol: (Calf) Will Not Play Friday

Gasol (calf) will not play in Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Gasol will miss his third straight game with the strained calf. We'll most likely see Taj Gibson start at power forward and continue to see a hefty increase in minutes. He joins both Derrick Rose and Kirk Hinrich as inactive. Consider Gasol questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz.
