For the first time since the end of the Damian Jones era, the Los Angeles Lakers will have a true center at their disposal, as Frank Vogel announced that Marc Gasol is expected to be available when his team takes on the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.
“We expect Marc to return tonight on a minutes restriction of 15 minutes,” Vogel said at shootaround on Thursday. “He went through shootaround and looked good. The question mark with Marc right now is his conditioning and his legs, and that’s something we’ll have to keep an eye on.
