Lakers forward/Center Pau Gasol is currently in Madrid with the Spanish national team.

Gasol, currently recovering from procedures to heal tendonosis in both knees, watched his squad defeat France at the Palacio de los Deportes on Friday, 85-76, in a tune-up game before the EuroBasket 2013 tournament in September.
