Danilo Gallinari Injury (Expected to miss entire '22-23 Season)

This really sucks. Bench is thin again

Bummer... I hope it's nothing season ending...

Mello is still a free agent...

[Birdman]

Look like Vonleh & Jackson gotta make the team now

Initial exams on Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari’s left knee show that the ACL is stable, full tests to come with an MRI on Sunday, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Good early news.

Well Shams tweeted that initial tests show the ACL is stable. Granted it didn't look good.
In worst case though, his is a role where you can probably find someone (non-guard who can make 3's) with the cash you have available to spend. Boston is now very attractive to the 'pick up a ring' category of vets.

I am probably in minority but wouldn’t hate melo. He has accepted his role as vet min guy and we could cover his d better than most teams. Doubt brad will go for it.

If Gallo is seriously injured, I agree.

I’m no doctor, far from it, but he was grabbing the back of his knee. Take this with a serious grain of salt but to me it looks like an LCL, which would be really good news. 3-12 weeks. Again. I’m not a doctor but I’m clinging to this for hope so my Saturday is not ruined.

No problem with Carmelo . But would still like to see a big also

[Birdman]

I think Melo would sign if he don’t get any offers from Lakers..May be his last chance at winning a championship

[slamtheking]

what is it with pro players risking their careers and injury in these non-NBA games?   utterly foolish

I hear the sentiment, but these guys are going to play hoops one way or the other.  How else can they work on their game?  Are the odds greater than they get hurt in a game vs just a pickup game in some gym?  Serious question, as I'm not sure of the answer.

Melo would be ok off the bench

He has made it sound like he didn’t want to go back to lakers in his interviews since the season ended (the take on silver screen and roll not mine)
