Boston Celtics veteran Danilo Gallinari has yet to play for his newest team, but the Italian wing is hopeful that will change soon enough. Gallinari recently told the Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach that he is hopeful he can be ready for action as soon as this postseason. “My mindset is that I want to play, and that I’m going to play at the end of the season,” Gallinari said. “I want to play in the playoffs. So that’s the mindset that helps me every day get better and motivates me even more.”
Boston signed Gallinari this past July, inking the 34-year-old to a two-year, $13.3 million contract. Gallanari had spent the previous two seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, serving as a helpful scoring threat off the bench.
Unfortunately, however, Gallinari tore his ACL just a few weeks later playing for the Italian National team during FIBA Eurocup.
While it seems unlikely that the Celtics will be making any blockbuster moves, there’s been chatter that the front office is looking for additional depth on the wing and in the frontcourt. https://t.co/2JdgR1DmMW
