Marc Gasol has reportedly been told that he will be ready to return to the court for the Memphis Grizzlies in two weeks.

The 28-year-old sprained his knee in late November and recent rumours suggested that he would not be fully fit until late January.

However, Gasol could be set to provide his team with a boost as he eyes a comeback in the first week of 2014, according to Grizzlies reporter Chris Vernon.

Gasol has averaged 16 points in the 13 games he has appeared in this season.
