Earlier this week, it was reported that new Boston Celtics forward Danillo Gallinari tore his left meniscus while playing for Italy in a FIBA World Cup Qualifying game. He was originally reported to have a timetable to be back playing on the parquet floor by mid-November.

On Friday, the Boston Celtics announced that Gallo’s injury was much worse. Further evaluations showed that the Italian sharpshooter had actually torn his ACL. The Athletic’s Shams Charania added that the typical return timetable for an ACL tear is 6-12 months. Gallinari tore the same ACL back in 2013. Boston signed Gallinari to a two-year contract worth just over $13 million earlier this summer.
