Marc Gasol (knee) has been playing through injury, but plans to continue suiting up

Gasol (knee) has been playing through injury, but plans to continue suiting up, Ronald Tillery of the Commercial Appeal reports.

Analysis:

Gasol was dealing with a left knee bruise coming into February, but he has continued to play through pain. Coach Dave Joerger said Gasol is playing on one leg, but Gasol is insistent that being less than 100 percent will not be an excuse, and he has still put up serviceable numbers despite the injury. The Grizzlies take on the Trail Blazers on Monday and the Nets Wednesday, after which Gasol will have eight nights to rest and recover during the All-Star break.
