Pau Gasol appeared at practice with a left ankle that was extremely swollen and discolored.

“It doesn’t look too good but as far as strength and stuff, its feeling better than it was (Thursday),” said Gasol, who will miss at least the next two pre-season games and perhaps the rest of training camp.

“Better now than later,” Gasol said. “At this point and time, it’s not as bad as it could have been. It’s not as bad timing as it could have been. It would have been worse in the middle of the year.”
