The Lakers might not even get to the playoffs, but they won’t have Pau helping them make that push,at least according to Mike D’Antoni.

Lakers coach Mike D’Antoni suggested Pau Gasol won’t return in the regular season after nursing torn plantar fascia in his right foot for the past three weeks. “By the time he gets back, we’ll be in or out,” D’Antoni said. “His impact will be in the playoffs if we get there.”
