Chicago Tribune reporter K.C. Johnson reported around 4:35 P.M. central time that Bulls forward Pau Gasol will not play tonight because of lingering issues with the hamstring that he hurt in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals.
According to Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, Gasol has improved “a little bit” over the past few days but hasn’t improved enough to be ready to play in Game 5. Gasol went through warm-ups this morning at Quicken Loans Arena as reported by ESPN reporter Rachel Nichols.
