Gasol, due to an ankle injury, did not participate in Saturday's scrimmage and is doubtful for Monday's preseason opener against the Magic, Clayton Collier of Local 24 News reports.

Analysis:

The seriousness of the injury has yet to be disclosed, but the team is likely opting to play it safe with their top-tier center. His absence from Monday's game would probably mean more minutes for the likes of Brandan Wright, Ivan Rabb and Deyonta Davis.
