Italy forward Danilo Gallinari left a FIBA World Cup qualifying game on Saturday because of a left knee injury.
The Boston Celtics veteran grabbed the knee after a bounce pass in the lane during the game against Georgia in Brescia, Italy. While play continued, he hobbled over to the sideline, holding the back of the knee as trainers rushed to his aid. He limped off to the locker room with the help of a staff member and a teammate.
Italy won the game 91-84. Gallinari had 17 points, four rebounds and an assist in the victory.
