Pau Gasol: (Hamstring) Ruled Out For Game 5

Gasol (hamstring) will not play in Tuesday's Game 5 against the Cavaliers, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated reports.

Analysis:

As expected, Gasol will be sidelined for the second straight game due to a left hamstring injury. Coach Tom Thibodeau indicated that Gasol is making progress, but he hasn't yet reached the point where he's comfortable playing at full speed. Consider Gasol questionable for Thursday's Game 6, and expect Taj Gibson to again replace Gasol in the starting lineup.
