Gallinari (knee) said Sunday in an interview with Gianluca Bortolomai of AroundTheGame.com that his goal remains to return to game action at some point during the Celtics' postseason run.

EDGE Analysis

At the time he underwent surgery in late September to address a torn ACL sustained while playing for the Italian national team in EuroBasket 2022, Gallinari indicated that he wasn't ready to rule himself out for the 2022-23 season. Though Gallinari seems to have now dismissed the possibility of a regular-season return, he's been encouraged enough by his rehab thus far to remain focused on playing during the postseason. Gallinari has continued to conduct his rehab under the supervision of the Celtics' training staff and has even traveled for most of the team's road games, but Boston has yet to reveal when he'll be ready to resume on-court work. If Gallinari makes it back at some point during the playoffs, he'll likely be tasked with handling only a limited role off the bench.

EDGE Analysis

Gallinari recently underwent successful surgery to repair the ACL in his left knee -- he was injured while playing for the Italian national team in EuroBasket 2022.

EDGE Analysis

Gallinari was diagnosed with an ACL tear in his left knee while playing for the Italian national team in EuroBasket 2022 in late August. The Celtics didn't provide further clarity on the forward's expected return timetable, but a 6-to-12 month absence is typically associated with ACL procedures. As a result, Gallinari likely wont be able to make his Celtics debut until late in the regular season or playoffs, if at all.

EDGE Analysis

Gallinari sustained this non-contact injury while playing for the Italian national team overseas in EuroBasket 2022. He suffered this same knee injury in 2013. The 33-year-old is expected to miss the year, given that the typical recovery time for a torn ACL is 6-12 months following surgery. He would've been a key rotational piece for the Celtics as instant offense off the bench. Expect Grant Williams' role to increase as he takes over Gallinari's minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The diagnosis actually comes as fortunate news, as the Celtics feared that Gallinari suffered a non-contact torn ACL in the knee, which he injured while playing for the Italian national team overseas in EuroBasket 2022. Though he's been ruled out for the rest of the EuroBasket tournament, Gallinari's availability for the start of training camp in the fall will likely hinge on whether he needs surgery to address the injury. Even if Gallinari is able to treat the injury through rest and rehab, he still may not be a lock to gain full clearance in advance of the Celtics' season opener. The 33-year-old forward is expected to serve as a key depth piece in his first season with Boston.
