As both “Marca” and “As”, two of the biggest Spanish sports newspapers, reported on their print editions, Pau Gasol is leaning towards playing in the upcoming Eurobasket with the Spanish national team.
On the contrary Mark Gasol will probably sit out this summer, during which he will have to take a major career decision as a top NBA free agent. The reports came as every one expects the announcement about the pre-selection of the Spanish national team, which will answer one more big question.
Nikola Mirotic informed the Spanish federation that he is available for the team and the same goes for Serge Ibaka. However only one “naturalized” player can be used by the team. Ricky Rubio and Juan Manuel Calderon have already announced that they will not play for the national team this summer due to health issues.
