After being waived by the San Antonio Spurs in the fallout of the Dejounte Murray trade, Gallinari signed a two-year, $13.3M deal with the Boston Celtics on July 12, 2022.
However, Gallinari never stepped foot on the court with the Celtics because of a torn ACL he suffered playing for Italy in a FIBA qualifying game last August.
Gallinari has nearly recovered from the injury and should make his Celtics’ debut this upcoming season.
