Marc Gasol officially ruled out for season

I think the Grizz can say goodbye to the playoffs.

The Memphis Grizzlies announced on Wednesday that center Marc Gasol will miss the rest of the season after undergoing successful foot surgery.

Gasol is expected to make a full recovery. He left a game against Portland on February 8 at the end of the first quarter and did not return to the game and that turned out to be his last game of the season.

The Grizzlies are currently sitting at the fifth spot in the Western Conference playoffs picture and have won two of the three games without Gasol. However, in a competitive run for the playoffs between some other teams it may behoove the Grizzlies to not make the playoffs and get a lottery pick to help the depth among the bigs.
