The Spanish NT hopes to have Pau Gasol on board next summer in the Tokyo Olympics. And while this remains the main objective, for now, Spanish Federation President Jorge Garbajosa has opened up the door to the national team even when Gasol retires, per as.com.

39-year-old Pau Gasol has not yet finished his career and was in Porto for another diagnosis. “It’s been an intense few days of travel and medical appointments to gather opinions to make the best decision for my recovery.”, he posted on Instagram.
A few days after being waived by the Portland Trail Blazers, Pau Gasol returned to Spain. He made his way to Murcia to gather further options on his recovery, per Marca. He went through left foot surgery last May, but his rehabilitation did not go as planned.
Gasol’s goal is to remain in the NBA but Barcelona is ready to talk to the Spanish big man to understand if he is interested in returning to Europe to play and be ready for Tokyo 2020 when he will retire from International basketball.
