The Grizzlies have announced that center  Marc Gasol  will miss the team's final eight games of the season because of injuries. This comes as a massive disappointment for Gasol who missed five games between March 16-24 after partially tearing a neck muscle March 13 against Denver. The injury was made worse last week with his confrontation with Dallas.Gasol has career highs with 14.6 points and 9.3 rebounds.

Kobe has officially pledged his alliance to Lakers for life.  The 31-year-old guard signed a three-year extension that will keep him in a Lakers through the 2013-14 season.  Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said  "My position all along -- and I've mentioned many times -- is that Kobe started as a Laker and he should end his career as a Laker," "We're fairly assured now that he will end his career as a Laker. Now of course in four years he will be 35 years old. Maybe we'll go through this again... but I think at that point in time after all those years if he did choose to play some more it would be here in Los Angeles."The Lakers star  has pocketed a contract worth $90 million. He is certainly smiling!
