Italbasket, historic milestone for Danilo Gallinari

Historic milestone for Gallinari

During the match valid for the 2023 World Cup qualifier against Ukraine, which was later won by the Italian national team with a score of 97-89, Italian and Boston Celtics wing Danilo Gallinari, hit a historic milestone.

The Rooster has in fact reached 1000 points scored in the National Team’s jersey, becoming the 31st player able to cross this ‘threshold’ since 1926, the year in which the Azzurri’s first game was played.

Coach Gianmarco Pozzecco hopes that the number 8 will not stop at 1000, but that he can continue his work already starting with the challenge against Georgia on August 27, also valid for the World Cup qualifiers, but especially in the games of the Eurobasket 2022 round, which will see the Azzurri engaged against Estonia, the bogeyman Greece, once again Ukraine, Croatia and Great Britain.
