Memphis Grizzlies star Marc Gasol could reportedly return from his sprained MCL injury in the next month.

The Spaniard has previously suggested that he will make a speedy recovery but the projected rehabilitation time was set at between six and 10 weeks.

However, according to The AP, he should be back in action sooner than first thought.

Kosta Kufos has replaced Gasol during his absence, but Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger has conceded that he misses the latter's defensive presence.
