Marc Gasol was voted among the West Conference reserve players ahead of the upcoming NBA All-Star game. This marks the third time that the international Spaniard is being named an All-Star.
The Memphis Grizzlies big guy is having a splendid season after recovering from an injury he suffered last February which stole him the chance to finish 2015/2016 on courts or join the Spanish national team in the Olympic Games.
Gasol averages 20.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game leading the Grizzlies to a 27 – 20 record. In the last game he dropped a 42 points career-high while his team beat the Toronto Raptors 101 – 99.
