Danilo Gallinari Italy highlights: Boston Celtics forward gets 17 and 4 vs. Georgia before injury

The Italian swingman was especially efficient Saturday before he went down injured.

He might have left the game with an injury late in the fourth quarter of his Italian National Team’s 91-84 victory over the Georgian National Team in FIBA World Cup group stage qualifying, but veteran Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari left his mark.

While he will miss the upcoming EuroBasket tournament and be sidelined with a meniscal tear for some time, Gallo put up 17 points, 4 rebounds, an assist and a block in 15 minutes of floor time. He picked up a personal foul and committed one turnover.

The Italian swingman was especially efficient Saturday, hitting 6-of-7 of his field goal attempts, including his sole attempt from beyond the arc.

If you want to see how he was playing before the injury, check out the clip embedded above courtesy of the Bllen YouTube channel, but be advised, his injury is near the end — you might want to cut it a bit short if that sort of thing is not your cup of tea.

Get well soon, Gallinari!
