"Here's Marc!"

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol appears recovered from surgery on his broken right foot, with the 31-year-old seemingly confirming reports that he's cleared to play by tweeting out a meme of Jack Torrance from "The Shining" film on Monday afternoon.

Gasol was diagnosed with a non-displaced Type II fracture of his navicular bone after playing just 11 minutes against the Portland Trail Blazers on Feb. 8, going under the knife later that month.

He averaged 16.6 points on 46.4 percent shooting, seven rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.3 blocks over 52 appearances last season for the 42-40 Grizzlies, who were swept from the opening round of the playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs.
