After back surgery in April, Danilo Gallinari is running again with “minimal pain” which is expected to be gone by training camp.
Howard Beck of the New York Times reports from Las Vegas that Gallinari “has a hop in his step, and his 3-point stroke is as fluid as ever. He even looks a little thicker in his shoulders and upper arms, a good sign for a growing young power forward.”

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.”

Mike D’Antoni said yesterday that his rookie selection in this year’s NBA draft, Danilo Gallinari, will not get any significant minutes on the floor in the foreseeable future. As a matter of fact, D’Antoni is only planning on using him in blowout situations until he gets “physically ready”.

At the first day of New York Knicks’ media day, things were not looking all that great.
To start, the team’s first-round pick from Italy, Danilo Gallinari, will not be ready for lift-off in the near future as he is still hampered by back problems.

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.
NBA Rumors was created by three college grads who played Division III NCAA basketball for Berkeley College. Back then, basketball was our life. A day did not go by without us talking about what was going on in the NBA.
Today, we are all working in our respective industries in Midtown Manhattan. And two years after we graduated, basketball started to fall out of our radar as we started spending more time in the office and less time on the court. Therefore, we created this blog to reunite our passion for the love of NBA and basketball across the world.
We hope that you will enjoy our blog. We are intensively working on our coffee breaks to bring you the best rumors that the NBA has to offer.
