1 year agoAccording to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pistons acquired
Danilo Gallinari and
Mike Muscala from the Wizards in exchange for
Marvin Bagley III,
Isaiah Livers, and two second-round picks. The No. 6 overall pick of the 2008 NBA Draft has suited up for the Knicks, Nuggets, Clippers, Thunder, and Hawks before becoming a Wizard. He's appeared in 754 regular season games, averaging 15.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and shooting 38.1% from deep. Still, Gallinari isn't nearly as productive as he used to be, and he's also battled various ailments over the years. There's a chance he'll draw streaming attention at some point moving ahead. However, the 35-year-old isn't worth adding in any fantasy format unless he gets consistent playing time, which doesn't appear likely.

Danilo Gallinari (back) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. The veteran is having trouble with a lower back spasm. This season has been a comeback campaign for Gallinari after he missed the entire 2022-23 with a knee injury. He's averaged 14.8 minutes for the rebuilding Wizards, recording 7.0 points and 2.9 rebounds. He's already been unavailable for two games, which has allowed
Mike Muscala to log meaningful minutes. He's done well in the outings, but Muscala definitely isn't somebody fantasy managers should rush to grab.

Danilo Gallinari is open to logging minutes as a center if needed. The team will need extra help in the position, with starting center
Daniel Gafford (elbow) ruled out for several weeks. "Whatever needs to be out on the court, whatever position I need to play, I just want to play basketball. So any position is good," Gallinari said when asked about his willingness to play as a center. The 35-year-old is clearly hungry to just get on the court after missing the entire 2022-23 season with a knee injury. Gallinari has been a productive player throughout his career when healthy, but he isn't expected to play a large role this season with the Wizards in rebuild mode.

2 years agoThe Washington Wizards acquired
Danilo Gallinari from the Boston Celtics in a three-team trade on Wednesday. The Italian veteran moves on from Beantown after just one season and without making a single appearance for the team. Gallinari signed a two-year, $13.3 million deal with the Celtics last offseason but tore his left ACL in September while playing for his country. The 34-year-old has been a productive player throughout his NBA career, but it's currently unclear if he has a role to play for the rebuilding Wizards. The knee injury also leaves plenty of question marks regarding Gallinari's ability to still perform at a high level.
