Gasol (rest) will not play Thursday against the Wizards, Jon Roser of ESPN 92.9 FM in Memphis reports.

Analysis:

Gasol will join Tony Allen (rest), Zach Randolph (rest) and Mike Conley (ankle) on the sideline Thursday as the Grizzlies will look to get rejuvenated following a disappointing loss to the Celtics on Wednesday night. Expect Kosta Koufos to start in place of Gasol, while a number of bench players should see increased roles against Washington. Gasol, Randolph and Allen figure to return to the lineup Saturday against Milwaukee, while Conley is questionable.
