NY Post reports that Knicks rookie forward Danilo Gallinari is considering to undergo season-ending surgery on his back.
“Because Danilo has said his back is only 60 to 70 percent., we want to reconsider all treatement options, including surgery. Yesterday he saw a fourth surgeon in New York. Danilo has decided to travel to Italy to get additional opinions from Italian back specialists. He’s leaving today and will return Monday at the latest.”
Gallinari has been playing in pain and could have a degenerative condition of more than one bulging disc. He does not sit on the bench most times to alleviate stress on the back. The Post reported Donnie Walsh prefers not play for the Italian Team during their Olympic qualifier and was also no guarantee for summer league. Now his season could be over.
