Gasol will replace Jimmy Butler (knee) in Sunday's NBA All-Star Game, Yahoo! Sports' Marc J. Spears reports.
Analysis:
With the recent news of Butler being sidelined three-to-four weeks due to a strained left knee, the selection committee stayed in Chicago to find a fill-in option. Even at age 35, Gasol continues to produce at a premium level. He's averaging 17 points, 10.9 boards, 3.3 assists, two blocks, and 0.6 steals across 31.9 minutes this season.
