Spurs center Pau Gasol, who underwent surgery on his left hand in January, could return to the lineup before the end of February according to head coach Gregg Popovich

Gasol injured the fourth metacarpal on his left hand when he collided with teammate Kyle Anderson during warm-ups before San Antonio’s win over the Denver Nuggets (19/1), but Popovich said he’s expecting the center to return to the lineup by the end of the All-Star break.

“They tell me that maybe at the beginning of All-Star break, somewhere around there, maybe he can play a game,” Popovich said before Thursday’s 102-86 win over the Philadelphia 76ers. “And if not, when we return, he should be able to. So, I’m guessing that probably after break, he’ll be ready to go.”
