Italbasket NT head coach Pozzecco: Gallinari is maybe the best Italian player ever. I will pray for him. With him we could have won Eurobasket, but I am not sorry for that. I am sorry because he may not play a tournament he deserves to play” – 5:26 PM

Sergio Llull, Tornike Shengelia, Kostas Antetokounmpo, Kostas Sloukas, Vasilije Micic and now Danilo Gallinari. All of them injured during #FIBAWC Qualifiers and less than a week for #EuroBasket. So important games just days before such a big event. Inhuman! – 5:08 PM
