Danilo Gallinari Traded To Detroit
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 Questionable Wednesday
1 year agoWashington Wizards forward 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 Resting On Monday
1 year agoWashington Wizards forward Danilo Gallinari (rest) has been ruled out of Monday's contest against the Toronto Raptors while he gets a rest day. The 35-year-old missed all of last season with an ACL tear and the Wizards have slowly gotten him involved in each of their nine games so far. He's currently averaging 8.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.7 assists across 14.4 minutes per game. He's most valuable in much deeper fantasy leagues but while he watches from the sidelines, Landry Shamet and either Patrick Baldwin Jr. or Johnny Davis could see some time off of the bench. Shamet would be the one that presents the least amount of risk.

Danilo Gallinari Ready For Minutes As Center
1 year agoWashington Wizards forward 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.
