LOS ANGELES — All 10 Lakers whose jersey numbers are retired have been inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Pau Gasol stands an excellent chance of being included in a strong 2023 Hall of Fame class.
And whether he's inducted in his first year of eligibility or later on, his No. 16 will already have been retired by the Lakers.
Gasol's No. 16 will be raised to the rafters at Crypto.com Arena during a ceremony March 7, 2023, the Lakers announced Wednesday, appropriately enough during a game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
