After an initial diagnosis that he did not suffer ligament damage in his left knee, Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari received a second opinion and did in fact tear his ACL, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. Gallinari also tore the ACL in his left knee in 2013.
As a result, Gallinari will miss the entire 2022-’23 NBA season.
Gallinari suffered the injury last weekend in Italy’s FIBA World Cup qualifying game against Georgia. The injury occurred as Gallinari received a bounce pass in the lane. It was a non-contact injury.
