Los Angeles Lakers all-star forward Pau Gasol, who suffered a tear on the bottom of his right foot, will be out at least six weeks, the National Basketball Association team said Thursday. Gasol flew back to Los Angeles, where he was examined on Thursday by team doctors and a foot specialist who diagnosed him with a torn plantar fascia -- the tissue under the arch of the foot. "Gasol is expected to be out a minimum of 6-8 weeks," Lakers spokesman John Black said in a statement.

LOS ANGELES, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol has been sidelined indefinitely after sustaining a tear in his right foot, his team said on Wednesday. Gasol was injured during the Lakers' victory over Brooklyn on Tuesday and received scans which confirmed an injury serious enough to keep him off court for a while. Los Angeles has not given a specific timetable on his return and the 7-foot (2.13m) Spaniard will meet with team doctors on Thursday to sketch out a plan for his recuperation.
