CHICAGO (AP) -- Chicago Bulls forward Pau Gasol remains on track to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series on Thursday night.
Coach Tom Thibodeau said at the morning shootaround that the five-time All-Star is ''feeling a lot better,'' but would not say if he will be in the lineup. Gasol said Wednesday he plans to play after missing back-to-back games because of a strained left hamstring.
Gasol's return could be a boost for a team that trails 3-2 and is facing potential elimination on its home court.
