Michael Gallagher: Danilo Gallinari (Sore left ankle) is questionable tomorrow against the Bulls.
Danilo Gallinari wanted to be clear: He wasn’t off Tuesday. He wasn’t kicking back with this feet up when the Clippers took on the Portland Trail Blazers without him. He was working – on his left foot, which recently had been causing him pain.
“My foot was hurting the last week, so I needed to take care of this problem and now it’s going to be fine,” said the Italian forward, whose absence prior to Tuesday’s loss was described by team personnel as “rest,” and afterward by coach Doc Rivers as a “very light” twisted ankle. “I mean, I don’t know about rest,” Gallinari added. “I don’t think that ‘rest’ is in our vocabulary right now. Just so you guys know, I didn’t take any rest the last game. I don’t know what the (physical trainers) told you, or what anybody told you, it wasn’t rest.”
Mirjam Swanson: A new-look injury report from the Clippers: Gallo is questionable with the low back spasms; new guy Wilson Chandler is out with a right quad strain (though the new acquisitions might not be with the team just ye anyway?), and, yes, Luc Mbah a Moute remains out with the knee.
Mirjam Swanson: No surprises: Danilo Gallinari (back spasms) and Luc Mbah a Moute (sore left knee) will be out for the Clippers’ game tomorrow at Detroit.
Mike Trudell: Doc Rivers said he doubts Avery Bradley (sore knee) will play tonight. Danilo Gallinari is also out.
Jovan Buha: Danilo Gallinari (lower back spasms) is predictably out tonight vs. Atlanta. Doc said he’d miss at least 1-2 more games including tonight.
Andrew Greif: Clippers list Danilo Gallinari as out for tomorrow’s game against the Kings. Fifth consecutive game he’s missed with back spasms.
Mirjam Swanson: Clippers injury update heading into Dallas: Lou Williams is questionable (sore right hamstring); Danilo Gallinari (low back spasms) and Luc Mbah a Moute (sore left knee) are out.
Jovan Buha: Lou Williams (sore right hamstring) and Danilo Gallinari (lower back spasms) are out tonight, per Doc Rivers. Rivers did not reveal who’s starting in Gallinari’s spot:
Jovan Buha: Gallinari did not make the road trip and Rivers said there’s a solid chance he misses all four games. Williams made the trip, meaning he’ll possibly return, likely in Miami or Chicago.
Jovan Buha: The Clippers list Lou Williams as questionable and Danilo Gallinari as doubtful for tomorrow’s game against the Spurs. Gotta think the team goes with Tyrone Wallace or Mike Scott to start (assuming Gallo doesn’t play).
Jovan Buha: Danilo Gallinari is playing tonight. Doc is keeping Avery Bradley in the starting lineup and moving Pat Beverley to the bench.
Andrew Greif: Danilo Gallinari will not play tonight. Sick, Doc says. Avery Bradley will play and make it a three-guard starting lineup.
Gallinari plans on showing he’s healthy and ready to prosper while playing for Team World against Team Africa at Sun Arena at Time Square. “Of course I will play. I got to show you some of the Gallo magic,” said Gallinari, laughing, during a conference call Wednesday with reporters. “Yeah, yeah, everything is good. I’m very excited. I’m healthy now, body is good. So I can’t wait to start.”
Danilo Gallinari told Davide Chinellato of Gazzetta.it that his right hand is not healed yet. Gallinari fractured his hand early on March, he returned for the final games of the Clippers but he was not ready yet to play. “My right hand is not healed yet. I visited some specialists in the USA and now I will do the same in Italy.
The Clippers listed Gallinari’s injury as a sore right hand. Gallinari said he will travel with the Clippers Wednesday for Thursday night’s game at the Utah Jazz. The Clippers, however, don’t see the forward playing the rest of the season with this latest setback. He had returned to play in the last two games for the Clippers after missing the previous 18 with a nondisplaced fracture of his right hand.

Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari said Tuesday he “hopes” to be back on the court by the end of the month. He hasn’t played since he was injured during the Clippers’ loss to the Golden State Warriors on Feb. 22 and didn’t join the team for the start of its four-game trip Tuesday at Minnesota. “The hand is better,” Gallinari told a reporter for Sky Sports’ Italian-language website. “I did the last test, positive results, so now I can start again with the rehabilitation.”
Gallinari is not on the Clippers’ four-game road trip out East against the Wolves, Bucks, Indiana Pacers, and Toronto Raptors as he rehabs his injured hand in Los Angeles. If he does end up returning on March 27th, he will have missed just under five weeks of action. News was first reported reported by Sky Sports. “I hope to do it on the court before the end of the month,” Gallinari said. “The hand is better, I did the last test today: positive results, so now I can start again with the rehabilitation.”
Surgery possible for Danilo Gallinari?

Michael Gallagher: Danilo Gallinari (left glute injury) is doubtful for Sunday against the Pelicans.
Though he missed his 11th consecutive game with a left glute injury, the Clippers are starting to see some improvement from their small forward. His return to action remains uncertain. “He’s making progress,” Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. “He’s definitely moving better. There’s no update on his return or anything like that. But it’s the best that I’ve seen him move around, sure. And I think that has to be a pretty positive sign.”
Ohm Youngmisuk: Doc Rivers also says Danilo Gallinari was on the court today with the Clippers but he wasn’t sure what that means as far as when the forward will return other than that’s a positive sign.
“I have to rest and recover. We hope to treat the injury better than the first time to avoid setbacks. The first time I have missed four weeks, now I will be out six weeks. I hope to return between the end of January and the beginning of February. It is a very frustrating situation” Gallinari said.
Michael Gallagher: The Clippers announced Danilo Gallinari has a partial tear in his glute and he will be re-evaluated in January.

Michael Gallagher: Danilo Gallinari (glute) will not play on Monday against the Lakers, per team.
“Gallo is not coming back until he’s right,” Rivers said. “We’re not going to rush anybody back. I don’t care what situation you’re in. Not only is it going to make it worse, because then he’ll come back and get injured, or any of our guys. That’s one thing we’ll never do.” Gallinari said Monday that he hoped to be back in seven to 10 days. Teodosic is not expected back until after Christmas.
Michael Gallagher: Doc Rivers said the team won’t be rushing Danilo Gallinari back because they don’t want him to get hurt again, and he “is not coming back until he’s right.”

His estimated recovery time will take 40 days and he’s essentially ruled out of the EuroBasket that begins on August 31.
Gallinari sustained the injury following a punch he threw on Jito Kok of the Dutch team. The two players were involved in a fight during the game which started when Kok held the Clippers forward back way too aggressively to get a better position for a rebound. Gallinari reacted by hitting his opponent and throwing a full swing at him which was the punch that caused the injury.
Gallinari will miss the rest of Eurobasket play for Italy, but the expectation is that he’ll be ready for Clippers training camp in September. He’s expected to need a month of rest and rehabilitation. The Clippers will follow up soon with their own examination.

Gallinari warmed up prior to the Nuggets last game, at Phoenix, but couldn’t go. Still, that was a sign he was likely closing in on a return to action.
