Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari was diagnosed with a torn meniscus after suffering an apparent knee injury in Italy’s FIBA World Cup qualifying game against Georgia on Saturday.
The Italian national team announced the diagnosis on Sunday, confirming that Gallinari had not sustained any damage to his ACL or ligament damage. The team did not provide a recovery timeline for the 34-year-old, but it did say that he would miss next month’s EuroBasket tournament.
Gallinari appeared to sustain the injury after receiving a bounce pass in the lane during Saturday’s game.
