Danilo Gallinari, bated breath: next steps after injury

The wait is long, and upcoming examinations will clarify a situation that is currently extremely worrisome.

Danilo Gallinari is keeping basketball Italy in suspense after the very bad injury he suffered during the Azzurri’s game against Georgia. The former Olimpia Milano player saw his own left knee ‘crack,’ so much so that he walked off the court supported by his arms. And now his actual condition is awaited.

The issue is also being followed with great attention in the United States, Danilo Gallinari being one of the Boston Celtics’ star players. Well, what the website ‘The Athletic’ tells in the States is that the first verifications arrived from the PalaLeonessa infirmary would rule out ligament problems.

The definitive answer, however, will come only later on Sunday, when Gallinari will undergo an MRI. Hopes regarding a less serious injury than the first sensations exist: however, it remains very complicated to imagine a recovery in time to take part in Eurobasket 2022.
