Los Angeles Lakers star Pau Gasol is getting a chance to show off his acting moves on “CSI: Miami.”

CBS says Gasol will appear in the Nov. 16 episode of the crime drama, playing a person of interest in the investigation of a terrible car accident.

Gasol has other screen credits, including an appearance on the CBS drama “Numb3rs” with teammate Jordan Farmar.

Celtics’ Davis has surgery on thumb after fight: Boston Celtics forward Glen Davis had surgery Tuesday to repair his broken right thumb after fighting with a childhood friend while riding in an SUV less than two days before the season opener.

A police report identified Davis as the victim and said his friend, Shawn Bridgewater, appeared to be intoxicated.

Davis is expected to miss at least six weeks, though the Celtics said he also could be suspended for his behavior.

In a statement released by the team, Davis apologized to his teammates, coaches and the organization.

West kept out of opener: Troubled Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West was kept out of the season opener against the Boston Celtics.

Cleveland coach Mike Brown said general manager Danny Ferry and a support team working with West decided the guard was not ready to play.

West has battled bipolar disorder in the past and has had a turbulent off season. He was arrested on weapons charges near his Maryland home in September. He reported to training camp on time, but did not show for the first four practices and then left the Cavaliers for a week to deal with personal issues.
