With four full days off following Monday's game, expect Gasol to be back in uniform for Saturday's home date with the Pistons.

• Raptors' Marc Gasol: Sees light work in return

  03/09/2020 •

  Gasol (hamstring) played 16 minutes off the bench Sunday in the Raptors' 118-113 win over the Kings, finishing with three points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists. Predictably, Gasol filled only a minimal role for Toronto in his return from a 15-game absence due to the same hamstring issue that had already cost him 12 games from late December through mid-January. Though Gasol came off the bench for the first time all season, he could eventually replace Serge Ibaka on the top unit once he ramps up a bit. Expect Gasol to face a similar playing-time restriction in the second half of the back-to-back set Monday in Utah; he could also sit out entirely.

Expect Serge Ibaka to remain the starter at center for the time being.

The veteran center's embedded in a lengthy absence that stems from a strained left hamstring. He is officially questionable for Sunday, though his availability could well hinge on his ability to participate in pregame warmups. Look for more details to come out ahead of tipoff.
