Wizards' Danilo Gallinari: Big night off bench
Rotowire
Gallinari registered 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 132-116 win over Charlotte.
Three members of Washington's second unit dropped 15 points or more on a night in which the Wizards' bench out-scored their Hornets counterparts 72-23. Gallinari hadn't scored in double digits since Opening Night, managing a total of 23 points in the five games between his offensive outbursts, and he'd also failed to make a single three-pointer during that slump. After missing all of last season while recovering from an ACL tear, the 35-year-old may still be shaking off the rust, but Wednesday's performance was an encouraging sign.

Gallinari was a spark off the bench for Washington in Tuesday's blowout victory to begin the preseason, finishing second on the bench in scoring while connecting on a trio of threes in 16 minutes. Gallinari enters his first season in Washington this year, likely taking over a key bench spot for the Wizards in his 14th NBA campaign.

Wizards' Danilo Gallinari: Open to playing center
Rotowire
Gallinari (knee) is open to playing some center for the Wizards this season, Chris Crouse of Forty Eight Minutes reports.
Gallinari is coming off a major knee surgery, but there's been no talk of limitations at training camp, which is a positive sign. With Daniel Gafford sidelined for 2-4 weeks with an elbow issue, Gallinari's versatility could be very useful to the Wizards at the beginning of the 2023-24 campaign.

Wizards' Danilo Gallinari: Sent to Washington
Rotowire
Gallinari was shipped to the Wizards on Wednesday as part of a three-team trade involving Kristaps Porzingis, Marcus Smart and Tyus Jones. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
After opting into his player option last week, Gallinari is headed to Washington as part of the blockbuster trade. He is joined by Tyus Jones and Mike Muscala as newcomers to the Wizards roster. After missing the entire 2022-23 season due to a torn ACL in his left knee it's likely that Gallinari will make a full recovery and be good to go for the 2023-24 campaign. However, it's unclear where the soon-to-be-35-year-old will fit in on a Wizards team that appears to be embracing a rebuild. Gallinari's contract is set to expire after this season, so it's very possible that Washington facilitates a trade to send the Italian wing to a more appealing situation.

Celtics' Danilo Gallinari: Returning to Boston for 2023-24
Rotowire
Gallinari (knee) exercised his $6.8 million player option for the 2023-24 season Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Gallinari didn't play for the Celtics in 2022-23 while recovering from knee surgery. However, he will have the chance to crack the rotation next season, as he is expected to be healthy. With Grant Williams (hand) becoming a restricted free agent this offseason, his potential departure could open up minutes for Gallinari to provide a veteran presence for a Boston team competing for the title.

Rotowire
Gallinari (knee) is listed as out Monday for Game 7 of the Celtics' Eastern Conference Finals series versus the Heat.
The Celtics haven't officially commented on Gallinari's status for the rest of the postseason, but given that he hasn't played at all during the 2022-23 campaign while recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee, it's difficult to envision him having any sort of role even if he can gain clearance should Boston advance to the NBA Finals.
