Gasol has a broken right foot and will be out indefinitely, the Grizzlies announced on Tuesday.
The Grizzlies initially called the injury a foot sprain but in evaluation by team physicians, an MRI revealed a fracture in his right foot.
"Marc is a cornerstone of our franchise," general manager Chris Wallace said in a statement.
