How appropriate for the Lakers to officially release the Pau Gasol injury news an hour before playing their worst enemy.

Gasol will be out at least six to eight weeks because of a tear in the bottom of his right foot, the Lakers said.

“I think L.A.’s kind of seeing how much we miss Pau and what he brings to the table in his skill set,” Kobe Bryant said Thursday after the Lakers trailed by 32 points and lost to the Boston Celtics, 116-95. “Maybe now they’ll start appreciating him a little bit more.”
