Ready to wear the Washington shirt and loaded with spring waiting to know the date that in the NBA calendar will put him in front of Boston, his former team. Danilo Gallinari all over the place on social media in recent days. First he announces that he will not move from Washington, the team that welcomed him in the trade that brought Kristaps Porzingis to the Celtics, then, speaking on the podcast “High crest” conducted by his brother Federico, immediately takes off a pebble from his shoes: «I can’t wait to play against the Celtics and I will put an X on every game I play in Boston vs. Boston». A clear sign that the trade that brought him to the Wizards was not appreciated by the former New York, Denver, Clippers, Atlanta and Oklahoma player and that he did not play a game in Boston due to the terrible injury to the cruciate ligaments of his left knee of August 2022. An injury that caused him to miss the entire season and probably also the call up to the national team for the World Cup which will start in Manila on August 25th.

Sixteen seasons in the NBA: he will wear number 88
Although he will not be entirely satisfied, the “Gallo” has decided to remain in Washington in a team that will have only Jordan Poole, sold by the Warriors to avoid further problems with Draymond Green and with the Golden State locker room, as spearhead and much to refound in its outline. «I’m happy to be part of the Wizards family and can’t wait to embrace this incredible city.
Let’s make the season unforgettable!», he had posted a few days ago, adding that the recovery path from the injury is going well.
Thrilled to be part of the Wizards family and looking forward to embracing this amazing city!
Feeling stronger every day and can’t wait to give my all on the court and guide and support our talented roster.

Yesterday then, Etienne Catalan, French NBA analyst, anticipated that Gallinari will leave his traditional number 8 for wear the shirt with the 88. Because, it should be remembered, the former Olimpia Milano was born on 8/8/88. A shirt that would be banned in Italy according to the provisions contained in the declaration of intent for the fight against anti-Semitism signed by the Italian government with the world of football. The number 88 is in fact used by neo-Nazi groups as a non-evident greeting to Adolf Hitler, whose surname initial is the eighth letter of the alphabet. For Gallinari, of course, the meaning is quite different and in Washington they are already printing T-shirts. He’s about to start his sixteenth season in the NBA with the seventh different team.
