Celtics’ Danilo Gallinari releases statement regarding left ACL tear
The Boston Celtics were dealt a tough blow on Friday when they received news that Danilo Gallinari has a torn ACL in his left knee. The veteran forward is now expected to miss a majority of if not all of the 2022-23 season given the severity of the injury.
Gallinari released a statement on his Twitter account:
This has been a tough week for me as I have learned the extent of my injury. This game means everything to me and not being able to be on the court with my Celtics teammates hurts. I plan to give everything I can to the Celtics organization and my teammates as we hunt for a title. I will work tirelessly with the Celtics staff to return to the court as soon as I can, and I appreciate the unwavering support from the fans, my teammates and the entire NBA family.

Gallinari will miss significant time, but if he can return to the Celtics in March, that would be a huge win for both him and the franchise.
