The Boston Celtics find themselves looking for a way to fill at least some of the minutes that will be vacated by veteran forward Danilo Gallinari after news broke of the Italian swingman’s ACL injury. That injury, sustained in FIBA World Cup qualifier play, will likely keep Gallinari out of action through at least the end of the 2022-23 regular season, and perhaps beyond it.

Early reporting has suggested that the team is in no hurry to replace Gallo with Boston reportedly planning to get a good look at the prospects they already have on the roster, but a strict adherence to such a plan might well see any potential free agents of note find homes elsewhere.

The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn recently highlighted five potential signees the Celtics could consider bringing on in the wake of Gallinari’s injury; let’s dive into the prospective replacements.
