The Celtics announced today that Danilo Gallinari has been diagnosed with a torn ACL in his left knee, contradicting the original diagnosis of a torn meniscus. bostonsportsjournal.com/2022/09/02/Dan…12:55 PM

Just my opinion:
I’d sign Carmelo Anthony. Replaces a lot of what Boston loses with Gallo out. Doesn’t cost anything like a trade would, and it’s the cheapest free agent option.
Of course, Melo would want to sign with Boston and who knows where that stands at the moment? – 12:37 PM

With Gallinari’s injury, Boston will need help in reserve on the wing or PF position. A few names to consider:
Carmelo Anthony
Al-Farouq Aminu
Svi Mykhailiuk
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot
Jeremy Lamb
Blake Griffin – 12:25 PM

Really sad to see that news on Danilo Gallinari. Hope he can end his career the way he wants — re-torn ACL at age 34 is tough – 12:02 PM
Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I am gutted for Gallo. He so badly wanted to be a Celtic and was so happy to be in Boston.
This just sucks all-around. – 11:59 AM
