Marc Gasol made up his mind some time ago, practically the moment the season ended for the Grizzlies.

The player's priority this summer was to sort his future out in the NBA - something that is more or less decided as in all probability he will continue playing in Memphis, and take a rest for the first time since 2006, when he made his debut in the national team following Fran Vázquez's injury. Marc Gasol won't be taking part in EuroBasket 2015.

In the Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB), they are already aware of his decision, but the player is set to announce it to the press this Tuesday morning. Marc dropped a hint at an event in Spain that he attended with Caser just a few days after the NBA season had come to an end.

He mentioned that some year he would have to take a break even if turning down the opportunity to play for his country is something that he would hate to do. His commitment to the national team these last few years has been extraordinary.

The Grizzlies center, who was not present this Saturday at Rudy Fernández's wedding (where in all probability his teammates would have had a go at getting him to change his mind), wants to spend some time with his family and rest up in order to start the next season on top form and with added superstar status - he is about to sign a five-year contract for $110 million.
