One of the Boston Celtics’ reinforcements for the 2022-23 season may be out for some time.<\/p>\n
Forward Danilo Gallinari, who signed a two-year, $13.3 million deal with the Celtics last month, went down with a non-contact knee injury while playing for Italy in a FIBA \u200b\u200bWorld Cup qualifier on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Gallinari was diagnosed with a torn meniscus on Sunday, though there was no reported ligament damage, Italy announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n “It’s tough to talk about basketball after what what we saw happen to Danilo,” Italy captain Luigi Datome said after their win against Georgia, via ESPN. “We wish him, of course, the best.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n The injury occurred when Gallinari pulled up while running into the paint on a fastbreak during the first quarter. The 34-year-old immediately hopped off the court while holding his left knee, exiting the game on the next break in play.<\/p>\n\n
