Nearly a month after the regular season ended, Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari is still waiting for his broken right hand to fully heal, relays Emiliano Carchia of Sportando. Gallinari offered an update on the injury during a recent interview with the Italian website Gazzetta.it.
“My right hand is not healed yet,” he said. “I visited some specialists in the USA and now I will do the same in Italy. I rule out the surgery for the moment, but I have to understand better how to recover.”
Gallinari was sidelined for 18 games after suffering the injury in March. He returned late in the season to try to help with the Clippers’ playoff push, but aggravated the condition during a fall in an April game.
He managed just 21 games in his first season after being traded to L.A. He is signed for about $21.6MM next season and $22.6MM in 2019/20.
Cursed !!
I love this guy’s game but he’s kind of like Eric Gordon. They play so hard and go to the hole strong they always get hurt. They’re aggressive put their body on the line and they pay for it.
I wonder if he decides not to have surgery that this will bother him throughout next year?
This dude needs to retire already, he’s always hurt. Softer than cotton.
