For the Memphis Grizzlies, the downward spiral continues as the team continues to battle injuries and the fallout from former head coach David Fizdale's firing. Things will surely be even more difficult on Saturday night as Memphis will likely be without their best player against the L.A. Clippers.

According to the Grizzlies' official public relations Twitter account, star center Marc Gasol is doubtful for Saturday night's game at FedExForum.

This is really unfortunate for the Grizzlies, especially with the frequent trade rumors swirling around players like Gasol and guard Tyreke Evans. How much longer will we get to see Gasol play in a Memphis jersey? At this rate, time will certainly have to tell.

After they started off the season with a 5-1 mark, with three of their five wins over the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors, the Grizzlies have absolutely spiraled out of control since the beginning of November. In their last 26 games heading into Saturday night's contest against the Clippers, Memphis has gone a dismal 4-22 during that stretch.

However, in 32 starts this season at center, Gasol continues to be a model of consistency. During his 2017-18 campaign, Gasol is averaging 18.9 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.1 blocks and 1.4 blocked shots per came in roughly 35.1 minutes of action per contest.
