Grizzlies center Marc Gasol has a message for the fans: Calm down, he’s fine. “Please,” he said. Gasol left in the third quarter of Saturday night’s double-overtime preseason game against Houston with a sore right ankle.

It brought a scare to the Grizzlies, especially since Gasol underwent surgery last February to repair a non-displaced Type II fracture of the navicular bone in his right foot. “I didn’t have to leave the game. I got subbed out,” said Gasol, who played 20 minutes of the Grizzlies’ 134-125 victory. “Then just used (the time on the bench) to get some ice and remove my ankle tape. That was all.”
