Marc Gasol will play on Friday for the Memphis Grizzlies against the San Antonio Spurs despite a knee injury.

"I'm ready to go," Gasol said after the Grizzlies' morning shootaround. "We'll get back to playing the way we play."

MRI results revealed that Gasol suffered a right knee bone bruise Wednesday night during a loss at Houston.

"You never want to go down. You always want to keep playing," Gasol said. "I don't know what the big deal is. We wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with it. Nothing is wrong with it so now we move on."
