06/01/2010 -
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Los Angeles Lakers center Pau Gasol said
Tuesday he won't play for Spain at this summer's World Championship.
Gasol made the comments on his personal website, saying he needs a rest after
the rigors of a long NBA season and postseason. The Lakers will play the
Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals, starting Thursday.
"After a period of reflection with my doctors, physical trainers and physical
therapists, both Spanish and American, I informed the President of the Spanish
Basketball Federation, Mr. Jose Luis Saez, and National Coach, Mr. Sergio
Scariolo, that present circumstances advise against my participation in the
next Basketball World Cup in Turkey 2010," Gasol's statement began. "This year
I have suffered two major muscle injuries, the first in my career, and I
firmly believe it is time to rest."
Spain is the defending champion after winning its first title four years ago
in Japan. Gasol missed the championship game victory over Greece in 2006 after
suffering a broken foot in the semifinals.
This year's World Championship starts August 29 and runs through September 12.
