For the second time in a row: the star of the Italian team, Danilo Gallinari, will miss the Eurobasket due to an injury during the preparation period.
After it happened to the Boston Celtics player before the European Championships in 2017, it happened to him once again yesterday (Saturday).
Gallinari injured his knee during the match against Georgia in the World Championship qualifying window and today it was determined that he will not be able to participate in the European Championship.
"With him we might have won the championship," said his coach, Gianmarco Potzko.
As you remember, Italy may be Israel's opponent in the round of 16 if both teams qualify from the early stage.
The injury of the Italian star is a continuation of a wave of injuries in recent days that will prevent key players from appearing in EuroBasket.
Among the injured: Sergio Huey from Spain, Turnika Shenglia from Georgia, Tomas Saturnski from the Czech Republic, and the condition of Kostas Sloukas, Ioannis Papatro and Kostas Antetkompo is unclear.
On the other hand, Vasilija Micic will probably overcome the injury against Greece and play in the championship.
