Stashed Boston Celtics point guard Yam Madar goes off for 27 points vs. Sweden in FIBA qualifier

Madar’s trey was looking especially crisp in the loss to their Scandinavian opponent.

Stashed Boston Celtics floor general Yam Madar went off in the Israeli National Team’s 95-83 loss to Sweden in FIBA World Cup qualifier play on Sunday.

The No. 47 pick in the 2020 NBA draft put together one of his best games ever in FIBA play: 27 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and a steal in less than 29 minutes of play. The Beit Dagan native shot 7-of-12 from the field overall, a blistering 5-of-8 from beyond the arc, and 8-of-10 from the charity stripe in the loss, fouling twice and turning the ball over as many times.

It might not have ended with the result he wanted for Israel, but the Partizan NIS point guard is showing real progress as a player, which could translate to Madar finally making the leap to the NBA in the near future.

To see his game against Sweden in full, check out the highlights from the tilt in this video put together by FIBA.

Report: Injured Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari expected to miss training camp, return in November

While far from ideal, this is by far a much better prognosis than many initially feared.

If a recent estimate of when injured Boston Celtics swingman Danilo Gallinari can return to the court pans out, the Celtics and Gallinari will be in excellent position for the start of the 2022-23 NBA season.

Gallinari sustained the injury while playing for the Italian National Team in a FIBA World Cup group stage qualifying game against the Georgian National Team on Saturday. Per Sportando, the injury will keep the Celtics forward off the court “at least two months.” That will, of course, have the Italian missing training camp and the start of the regular season.

But, compared to some of the worst-case scenarios for his meniscal tear (itself a better option than the initially feared re-injury of his left ACL), that’s quite an acceptable alternative to a lost season or a career-ending injury.

Gallinari has not played for Boston yet after signing a two-year, $12.3 million contract with the Celtics this summer. With this news, fears he might never play for them should subside.

Spain’s Juancho Hernangomez highlights: Ex-Boston Celtics forward gets 5 points, 4 boards vs. Netherlands

‘Bo Cruz’ helped Spain blow out the national team of the Netherlands in World Cup group stage qualifying on Saturday.

He might not be the next Bo Cruz of the NBA, but Spanish national and Boston Celtics alumnus Juancho Hernangomez helped Spain obliterate the Netherlands National Team, 86-64, in World Cup group stage qualifying on Saturday.

The former Boston swingman put up a respectable 5 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists as a starter in just under 24 minutes of floor time. Hernangomez turned the ball over twice and picked up as many personal fouls, while shooting 2-of-5 from the field overall, 1-of-3 from beyond the arc, and missing both of his free-throw attempts.

The protagonist of “Hustle” might not be quite the star player portrayed in the Netflix film he co-starred with Adam Sandler in, but he is still playing high-level basketball for Spain and, hopefully, this season in Toronto, his new home.

Trio of Boston Celtics alumni score in France’s 96-90 loss to Bosnia-Herzegovina in FIBA qualifier play

Evan Fournier, Guerschon Yabusele and Vincent Poirier were on the board in the loss.

Several Boston Celtics alumni scored during the French National Team’s 96-90 loss to the national team of Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday.

Former Celtics shooting guard Evan Fournier led France with 24 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals. A pair of former Boston big men also managed solid outings in the FIBA World Cup group stage qualifying loss.

Big man Guerschon Yabusele had an outstanding 16 points, 7 boards, 2 blocks and a steal. Ex-Celtics center Vincent Poirier chipped in 4 points, 4 rebounds, an assist and as many steals in the losing effort.

Fournier in particular had a rough night in terms of efficiency. He shot just 7-of-19 from the field overall, but made up for it beyond the arc, connecting on 46.3% of his shots from deep.

His six turnovers and four personal fouls did not help France’s cause, but expect the 2020 Olympic silver medalists to bounce back.

Former Boston Celtics point guard Dennis Schroder gets 17 points, 10 assists with Germany vs. Slovenia

Teammates and fellow Celtics alumni Daniel Theis and Moritz Wagner did not suit up for Germany in FIBA play Saturday.

Unsigned free agent and Boston Celtics alumnus Dennis Schroder had an excellent game with his German National Team in a World Cup group stage qualifying game against Luke Doncic’s Slovenian National Team on Saturday.

Schroder, the former Boston floor general, put up 17 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals in the 90-71 win.

Schroder managed all of that in 27 minutes of floor time, during which he committed three turnovers and one foul. He shot 40% from the field overall and a sizzling 4-of-9 from 3-point range, hitting all three of his attempts from the charity stripe as well.

Fellow Celtics alumni big men Daniel Theis and Moritz Wagner did not suit up in the contest. Both are questionable for EuroBasket play with injuries that have had them on the bench.

On the other side of the court, Zoran Dragic — brother of Goran — scored a single basket for 2 points, a board and a steal.

Zoran never suited up for Boston but was briefly a member of the organization after being included in a deal shortly before being waived in 2015.

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!

Celtics veteran swingman Danilo Gallinari reacts to officially being ruled out of EuroBasket play

While the injury is less bad than it looked, it’s still enough to crush Gallo’s dreams of competing in the EuroBasket in front of a home crowd.

Officially ruled out of EuroBasket play per Sportando’s Emiliano Carchia, Boston Celtics veteran forward Danilo Gallinari took to his Instagram to react to his meniscal tear sustained with the Italian National Team on Saturday afternoon in the final frame of a FIBA World Cup qualifying match against the National Team of Georgia.

Gallo avoided a more serious injury involving his surgically-repaired left ACL. Still, he was clearly upset about not being able to continue playing for Italy this summer as a result of the meniscal tear diagnosis following an MRI Sunday morning. It confirmed the lesser, but still impactful, injury that could see him miss several weeks to multiple months depending on the damage.

“It hurts like hell,” admitted the Celtics swingman on Instagram (translated from Italian).

Shams: Boston Celtics swingman Danilo Gallinari suffers meniscal tear in left knee

While not ideal, it is described as the ‘best case’ outcome and could take weeks to months to see Gallo back on the court.

Boston Celtics veteran forward Danilo Gallinari appears to have dodged a major injury.

The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported the injured swingman has a meniscal tear in his left knee. He suffered the non-contact injury in the fourth quarter of the Italian National Team’s World Cup group stage qualifying game against the Georgian National Team on Saturday.

Immediately after the Celtics forward limped off the court, there were concerns the injury might be to the same ACL that Gallinari already had operated on. However, word soon came that his ligaments seemed stable, and the MRI reportedly showed no ligament damage. Charania called the outcome the “best case” scenario for Gallo and the Celtics.

The Italian will miss EuroBasket 2022, and there is no timetable for when he might return to the court for the Celtics.

Such injuries can take weeks or months to recover from. We saw the best-case scenario play out for fellow Boston frontcourt player Robert Williams III this past postseason.

Stay tuned to the Celtics Lab for more details on this developing story as they become available.

Danilo Gallinari ACL reportedly appears stable; vet Boston Celtics guard will get MRI to confirm

Gallo appeared to injure his knee in an Italian National Team contest vs. Georgia.

While it is too soon to say for certain, The Athletic’s Shams Charania is reporting that Danilo Gallinari’s ACL in his left knee appears to be stable after analysis by the Italian National Team medical staff. The Boston Celtics veteran forward Danilo Gallinari is scheduled to get an MRI on his injured knee Sunday.

If the report is true, the Celtics and the Italian team dodged a massive bullet after Gallinari went down in the fourth quarter of a FIBA World Cup qualifier against the Georgian National Team on Saturday in an apparent non-contact injury. Gallinari previously tore his ACL. Per Sportando’s Emilio Carchia, Gianmarco Pozzecco, the coach of Gallo’s Italian National Team, lamented the injury.

“With him, we could have won EuroBasket, but I am not sorry for that,” he offered. “I am sorry because he may not play a tournament he deserves to play.”

“I think we have realized that we can no longer go on like this (on too many contests),” he added. “I hope that from tomorrow we start protecting the players”
