Pau Gasol medically cleared to begin running
Pau Gasol - F/C - Los Angeles Lakers
March 7, 2013 - 5:50 PM ET

Pau Gasol (foot) announced via Twitcam that he began running after receiving medical clearance Thursday.

Gasol said "discomfort was minimal" and called the session "encouraging." Gasol is a couple days over four weeks into his six-to-eight-week timetable and there are roughly six weeks left in the regular season. We expect Gasol to return around the end of March or beginning of April in a reserve role behind Dwight Howard and Earl Clark. He's not worth holding onto in most formats.
