Pau Gasol: (Hamstring) Could Play Monday -  11/4/2009 11:20:53 AM

Update:
Gasol (hamstring) appears to be nearing a return after successfully completing what Phil Jackson called a "pretty good workout" Tuesday in Oklahoma City, the L.A. Times reports.

Recommendation:
The forward will sit out his fifth game of the season Wednesday in Houston; however, reports are optimistic for a return to the floor Friday against Memphis in L.A. He will need to successfully make it through a full practice and recovery period before that happens.
