Small Ball: No Bynum, No Gasol for Friday Night
The good news first: Andrew Bynum has a mild strain in his elbow, nothing serious. Also, Pau Gasol participated in practice — not contact drills — on Thursday, the first full practice he has taken part in for weeks. The bad news: Neither is likely to play against Memphis.
