While the Celtics would have probably needed him in the playoffs, Danilo Gallinari unfortunately has to take his troubles patiently on the sidelines. He, who is still recovering from his torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, contracted last August, while preparing for theItaly for Eurobasket 2022.
Nine months later, we have therefore not yet seen “Gallo” on the court despite all his good will and he will thus have had a white season for the second time in his career (after 2013/14). From now on, his personal objective will be to return to competition at the time of the World Cup 2023 (August 25 – September 10).
” I’m far from being able to play a game… »
Optimistic and ready for this international deadline, Danilo Gallinari admits however that discussions will take place with the leaders and the medical staff of Bostonin order to decide on its presence in Asia with the “Squadra Azzurra” because the news is not necessarily reassuring…
” I’m far from being able to play a game », he confides on this subject. ” I started playing with contact again, but not like in a game-like setting. »
A participation of Danilo Gallinari, the headliner of Italian basketball, at the next World Cup would in any case represent a significant reinforcement for Italy, 5th in the 2021 Olympic Games then 8th in Eurobasket 2022. Especially if the binational Paolo Banchero came to not defend the transalpine colors…
“ We have a good team “, judges the 34-year-old veteran rightly. “ The United States are still the best, they are favorites to win the World Cup and the Olympics, but we have a pretty good team. We are doing well in international competition, especially in the last two years, and we hope to get a medal [au Mondial]. »
” Playing in Paris is obviously the dream… »
Not particularly worried or reluctant to play again in the selection, while it is in this context that he was seriously injured last summer, Danilo Gallinari therefore still does not know if he will be able to make himself available for his country in a few weeks. If the Celtics allow it, he will go to the Philippines with great pleasure, even if, to choose, his eyes would rather turn to a more prestigious event…
” Every competition is important to me, but playing in Paris is obviously the dream “, he specifies as well. ” It’s a dream for everyone. If we could play the Olympics in Paris, through the World Cup or maybe through the pre-Olympic tournament, that would be so amazing… I can’t wait to be there. »
In the meantime, Italy has not yet qualified for the 2024 Olympics and, as for the 2023 World Cup, they will be in Pool A in Manila (Philippines) with the Philippine host country, the Republic Dominican Republic and Angola. If she finishes in one of the first two places, she will then cross with the Serbian group in the second round, for an explosive revenge of the last Eurobasket and to hope to reach the 1/4 finals…
