Los Angeles Lakers center Marc Gasol admitted Friday night that he has been questioning his place on the team since Andre Drummond was signed off the buyout market last weekend.
Drummond was named the starter almost immediately after he arrived, and Gasol was relegated to the bench on a team that already has Montrezl Harrell, one of the leading Sixth Man of the Year candidates, playing backup center.
Gasol, speaking after the Lakers' 115-94 win over the Sacramento Kings on Friday, said it hasn't been easy accepting the fact that his role has shifted.
