EL SEGUNDO - Pau Gasol did not make enough progress to take the floor at practice Tuesday, Coach Phil Jackson said, possibly pushing Gasol’s return to Sunday at the earliest.

Gasol still has swelling and soreness in his sprained ankle but Jackson stopped short of calling it a setback.

“He didn’t improve between Saturday and today,” Jackson said.

The Lakers had hoped that Gasol could practice Tuesday and be available Friday against Memphis. Asked about that target date, Jackson said, “I’m sure he’d like to be back for Memphis but I don’t know if that’s a possibility.”

The Lakers play Washington on Sunday.

Jackson also said Derek Fisher appears to be OK after he tweaked his left knee late in Monday’s game. Fisher and most of the other starters were given Tuesday off from practice.
