Danilo Gallinari did not play a single game during the 2022-23 NBA season. The player has now chosen his future in the league. According to Adrian Wojnarowski from ESPN, the Italian forward has chosen to exercise his player option in the contract with the Boston Celtics and will remain with the team during the next season as well.

Gallinari tore his ACL just before the EuroBasket 2022 while playing for the Italian national team. With the recovery time for such an injury ranging from 6 to 12 months, the player had hopes of coming back to the active roster at the very end of the season if the Celtics made a deep playoff run but it never materialized.
