Entering Year 15, Bulls' Pau Gasol conscience of his minutes

WINNIPEG - Pau Gasol has learned a thing or two over his 14 years of service in the NBA.

And now, as he gets ready to play his 15th season as a pivotal member of the new-look Bulls lineup, he understands the time he spends on the court is just as important as the time he’s left off it.

“I’m focused (on that),” said the seven-foot Gasol following a 114-105 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves Saturday in a rare preseason game at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, Man. “(Monitoring my time) is important, I just want to try and prevent things from occurring as far as fatigue levels and potential injuries.
