Before the Ime Udoka suspension and the Robert Williams surgery, there was Danilo Gallinari’s injury. It’s been a rough stretch for the Boston Celtics, but it all began with the news that Gallinari had torn his ACL while playing for the Italian national team at EuroBasket.

Boston signed Gallinari to a two-year deal at the start of free agency with hopes that he could add shooting with size to their lineup (a slogan Danny Ainge pushed for years). But instead, he got hurt before ever suiting up in the green and white.
