Memphis Grizzlies vs. Milwaukee Bucks

Danilo Gallinari is looking for another NBA contract.

The 6-foot-2 player is a free agent after spending last season with the Wizards, Pistons (who released him) and Bucks. Overall, he averaged 5.7 points per game and shot 32.3 percent from three-point range last season after missing the entire 2022-23 season recovering from a torn ACL. At 36, is an offer coming his way?

Gallinari discussed this with The Republic in Italy (Hats off to BasketNews).

“A return to Italy? Not yet,” Gallinari said.

“There is still time for [me in] “In the market, anything can happen at any time. Miami? It’s not my time yet, there are other free agents and we’ll decide later. It could happen anywhere, as long as it’s a competitive franchise,” Gallinari said.

Gallinari scored baskets and helped weaker teams in Washington and Detroit Gallinari played last season, but he was used sparingly in Milwaukee last season until injuries hit the team hard in the playoffs, and he was forced into a bigger role (when he played better than expected). What’s clear through all of this is that Gallinari lost a step following his ACL injury, which made it difficult for him to integrate into Milwaukee, already an older team that needed athleticism more than another slower veteran.

Injuries and other situations could open up a roster spot, and perhaps Gallinari will be called up. However, he is already in preseason training with Treviglio, a Serie B team in Italy, and the chances of him staying in his home country and playing there this season seem to be increasing. Gallinari can afford to wait.
