It looks as if the Knicks’ number 6th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft will not be ready for training camp in two weeks. It is believed that Danilo Gallinari is still having back issues and needs time to recover.
The injury occurred during Danilo’s first (and last) summer league game in Las Vegas. He put up 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists in 22 minutes of play. It is believed that Gallinari sustained the injury after driving to the basket only to get knocked down by Robert “Tractor” Traylor.
Many have specualted whether or not Danilo will be able to endur the bumps and bruises that the NBA has to offer. Some may argue that he is fragile and will need some time to adjust to the physicality of the NBA.
Let us (Knicks fans) hope that he will recover and be the true Italian Stallion that he is made out to be.
