Danilo Gallinari injures knee - serious?

[bagelred]

With the NBA Playoffs mere weeks away, the Denver Nuggets just lost a crucial part of their team to major injury.

An MRI exam today revealed that Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee during Thursday night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Fortunately, the MRI showed no signs of other ligament or meniscus damage. He will miss the remainder of the 2012-13 season.

[bagelred]

I mean, looking at it again, I'd be shocked if it WASN'T an ACL tear. His leg kinda buckled, intense pain, grabbing side of leg.....ugh.

They say you get ACL tears from trying to stop hard or suddenly, the force of quadricep does it.

[bergs14]

Yep. That has ACL written all over it. Such a damn shame. :(

ACL and maybe even MCL. :cry:

I hate to see players injured. :cry:

This will be a big loss for the Nuggs.

It doesn't look good but I hope it isn't anything serious. Gallo is one of my favorite players,I want to see him lead the Nuggets in the playoffs.

But like all of us can see,it doesn't look good. :(

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

he was just out for a stretch of games, what was their record during that time?

[maybeshewill13]

God damn I love Denver.. wanted to see them make some noise in the playoffs. They'll still do OK without him, but he'll definitely be missed.

[LBJFTW]

Faried fouling dirk like a moron....

[DuMa]

hoping its just an hyperextended knee

[KDthunderup]

99% certain that was an ACL, ban me for two weeks if it isnt

[KDthunderup]

hoping its just an hyperextended knee
not sure if srs?

No way is that a hyperextended knee

[InspiredLebowski]

[niko]

Hopefully that just looked worse than it was. It happens occasionally. It didn't look good. Really sucks.

[SevereUpInHere]

Wish I didn't see that gif

He's done for a year :( This sicks, ACL injuries are terrible

[moey-]

ACL most likely, and probably even his medial.

[KDthunderup]

Derrick Rose saw that and pushed his return another 12 months

[Budadiiii]

Bad luck for the Nuggs right before the playoffs...

They weren't going anywhere, anyways... but I hope he recovers and comes back when he's medically cleared.

Still a possibility that it's not an ACL.. i'm praying for that

[coin24]

Hope its not too serious, looked pretty bad though:(

I don't want to sound bitter, but it's crazy to think that they have stayed so healthy this year.

[SevereUpInHere]

I don't want to sound bitter, but it's crazy to think that they have stayed so healthy this year.

Same happened last year with half the East stars injured going into the playoffs too.

[ThatsGame]

The Heat have had injuries

[Blingster]

The Heat have had injuries

Just to be clear, I didn't say no injuries. Just that they have remained fairly healthy.

[NuggetsFan]

Sucks. If Lawson doesn't come back 100% or atleast 90% ready to go were completely f*cked. We can still do something if Lawson is ready to go tho.

Things were going far too good. Lawson/Gallo going down ruins that pretty easily :mad:

[ProfessorMurder]

The Heat have had injuries

No significant ones.

[Lakers_Kobe_Fan]

The Heat have had injuries

what injuries???

[PickernRoller]

Damn Gallo down - unfortunate. They can beat Golden State without Gallo and Lawson. They will need Lawson for the second round else they're toast.

Shit happens and someone crapped a big one today. Damn.

[KDthunderup]

what injuries???
Wade was out for a while wasnt he?

[NuggetsFan]

Really hoping the idea of Lawson coming back and being fine for the playoffs was 100% true. It would be AWFUL to find out he's coming back at 50% or not coming back at all.

No Lawson/Gallo f*cks any kind of run we were going to make. Maybe we squeak out a 1st round win if we hold on to the 3rd seed or get HC but it'll probably be more of a momentum thing and we'll get raped in the next round.

Derrick Rose saw that and pushed his return another 12 months

:oldlol:

That looked bad though, one of those injuries I can't help but cringe at when I see it (been a lot of those in the past year or two) really sucks, Denver were shaping up to make some noise and isn't Gallo also a free agent at the end of the year? That could hurt his stock too

[NuggetsFan]

and isn't Gallo also a free agent at the end of the year? That could hurt his stock too

Nah, Denver has him locked up.

[bigt]

Nah, Denver has him locked up.

Oh cool, had a friend who was a Denver fan who mentioned he was worried he'd be leaving at the end of the season, just looked it up then an realised he signed up a while back. That's good at least, hopefully the results are better than what the injury looked like

All indications from Gallo are the he wants to stay in Denver for the rest of his career.

Good news, Denver's one of those teams I like to see do well, so the only reason I'd want to see him leave is if he went to Boston :oldlol:

[Blingster]

I like Boston, I just don't see how they could trade for Gallo. Pierce and Garnett are old, Denver doesn't need Rondo. Not sure if they would give up muliple players for him.. although this is all hypothetical :D

[bigt]

Haha yeah I wouldn't expect him to end up there by any means, it'd just be the only reason I'd want to see him leave Denver. Hypothetically I'd love to see Boston magically shore up their future without taking the green away from Pierce or Garnett, while at the same time Dirk (my favourite player) gets one last run at the title with a Mavericks team that is able to shave :oldlol: But hypothetical and reality are very different things, especially in my head

[Sarcastic]

Looked like RG3

[KDthunderup]

Funny thing is Galo will probably return the same time Rose does when next season starts.

[edrick]

If you want to lower your chances of ****ing up your ACL then stop wearing Adidas...

[Sheik1287]

That f*cking sucks, I liked watching Denver this year and was hoping they make some noise in the playoffs this season. I still think they get past the first round, but after that I'm not sure without Galo...

[chazzy]

Wow that's too bad.. big blow

[InspiredLebowski]

anybody got a handy list of guys that've gotten hurt wearing adidas in say, the last year?

[d.bball.guy]

Wow that doesn't look good. It does look like an ACL tear based on past injuries.

Hope he gets better, though. Such a big loss for Denver.

[MavsPoke]

This sucks for Denver. This sucks for Gallo.

Hope it turns out looking worse than it really was. But from that shot I see season over and surgery.

Good luck in the playoffs Denver fans. I'll root for you guys because I like how you play and you guys deserve a great run.

[arifgokcen]

Just to be clear, I didn't say no injuries. Just that they have remained fairly healthy.
Actually last year heat wasnt healthy at all.

Especially in playoffs.
Both wade and bosh had significant injuries

I had really high hopes for this denver team too bad

[BrandonJennings]

Hopefully they can give Evan Fournier some more minutes after this.

But damn, looks like it would've hurt. Looks like he tore his acl.

[theaussieguy]

anyone else laugh?

[dunksby]

Denver lost a consistent scorer, only one who can fill in for his scoring on the Nuggets is Lawson.

[Jasi]

Aw no, man, this is really sad.

It sucks for him first of all - I was sure these playoffs could have settled him as a bonafide star. But it's now certain he's a very frail athlete. Too bad :(

It sucks for Denver - there goes their hope for a significant post season.

[Scoooter]

Good night sweet prince. :cry:

[andremiller07]

Chandler/Faried going to step up big, since Faried will have to play more since Chandler will have to play SF only rather than back up PF/SF.

[All Net]

Damn.. Talk about terrible timing.

[TyLawson3]

He may have been our 2nd leading scorer but that's why we have a deep bench. People like Randolph/Hamilton, and Fournier can't get off the bench due to those in front of them, but when they have come in, they've been productive. Good time for them to shine in this stretch...

[niko]

All of a sudden it's Denver is doomed? This is a terrible thing, especially for Gallo (he's a great kid and his potential is high) but he's injury prone, and he's missed a lot of time either hurt or hurting. The whole thing about Denver is the ridiculous quality depth. If Denver can't function without Gallo then what is the point of that?

Does it hurt their upside? Sure. But they still have a lot of other players that can go. That's the whole thing about them. Don't write the obit yet.

They will be much better once Lawson gets back but he does not put them anywhere further than second round.

Agreed. I thought that was the whole point with Denver was their depth. Wilson Chandler can step in and score more and do more. I love me some Ill Will.

[niko]

If Denver is doomed with the loss of any one guy (especially a injury prone guy) then what is the point of their system? This isn't a diss, i just think all of a sudden everyone lost focus. If you need 10 guys to win, then you are ****ed, because someone will get hurt. If Lawson comes back, why can't they compete at the same high level? Gallo was playing well at times, but my no means was he the A and everyone else was the B.

I still think they are dangerous but i'd like to hear Denver fans, they'd know better.

[andremiller07]

Agreed. I thought that was the whole point with Denver was their depth. Wilson Chandler can step in and score more and do more. I love me some Ill Will.

While Ill Will is going to step in and do a fine job, it really messes up Denver at the back up PF where Chandler has been so damn good numerous times, thats where the Gallo injury will hurt them a lot and off course his very nice passing game is something Wilson doesn't have.

[Jasi]

Agreed. I thought that was the whole point with Denver was their depth. Wilson Chandler can step in and score more and do more. I love me some Ill Will.

It's true that Denver's strength relies on their depth but if any team loses their best (or one of the best) player just before the playoffs, their chances drop.
Take Billups or Prince or Sheed out of the Pistons and they don't win that ring, even if no one of them stood out as the clear cut superstar.
It's not like everyone can be replaced by anyone.

(And by the way I do think that Gallo is their best player, for a number of reasons that go beyond scoring.)


However, after watching the footage, I think that there's a little hope it could be the MCL instead of the ACL.

Godspeed! :bowdown:

That's your reaction to every post of mine by now :lol

[Jasi]

Watched it again.
The knee does bend on the side but it seems to me it breaks down in the front part. Yeah that's an ACL I am afraid.

[niko]

Wojo said team doctors said it's probably an ACL tear based on the what they saw. That doesn't leak out if it's not an ACL tear.

as a knick fan seeing someone go down with an ACL tear gets huge sympathy from me, especially Gallo.

[bagelred]

I'm sure if Gallinari was originally on Utah, Utah fans would be cheering this news. (Meanest fans ever...)

But as a Knick fan, got nothing but love for Gallinari. This blows.

The exact same thing had leaked in 2010 for Nene, but the MRI revealed it was just a sprain.
A little hope.

wow feel bad for the Nuggets were also rooting for them in the West got a good team of great exciting young guys, hope Gallo gets back to form.

So tell me, do you think they can get to WCF without Gallo?

[pegasus]

I am so sick of these ACL tears!:rant

He's one of my favorite European players. Wishing him a speedy recovery. BTW, I wouldn't count out the Nuggets. They're loaded at the SF position.

[NewYorkNoPicks]

my favorite knick player of the last decade

You know why? Because he was white.... Thats why so many people liked the guy.

I dont miss his 1 for 7 nights from 3.... Has skills,
Dont want him on my team....ever

Still wish him well in his recovery.

Wilson Chandler will flourish in his absence

[LikeABosh]

Whats the deal with all these ACL injuries?

That's because you only saw the Knicks version of him, that is Dumbtoni using him as a 3pt shooter only.
Which is a very bad way to use him, because (1) he's a streaky shooter (2) he can bring so much more to the table than just shooting.
Ask Denver fans if they are happy with him or not.

[NewYorkNoPicks]

That's even WORSE. You are a self-hating Italian white person. That is just sad.

Why do you wish you were black? Tell us.....

Girlfriend is italian too, Just made manicotti last night, i love my culture. Do you like every Jew on the planet?

Gallinari has a shakey handle and an overrated shot. His best asset is getting fouled on his awkward drives to the basket.

Youre probably one of those old farts who call into WFAN complaining that Melo is too selfish and you wish we still had Gallo.

Id take Wilson Chandler over Gallinari any day of the week

[bagelred]

Girlfriend is italian too, Just made manicotti last night, i love my culture. Do you like every Jew on the planet?



Look, there's nothing to be embarassed about. If you want to be black....I'm sorry, African American.......there's nothing wrong with that. It's something you should talk about though.

Do you partake in white or African American culture?

Seriously though youre obviously Jewish so do you like every single Jew on the planet? No... So does that make you a self hating Jew? Stop being ridiculous

[Whoah10115]

Probably the ACL (haven't read past the first page) and that was the thought yesterday. The ligament was loose, tho I guess it's possible that it's not a tear.


It's obviously bad but there isn't a team that's better suited to getting thru than Denver. You can move Chandler into the lineup or, better yet, move in Brewer/Hamilton and move Iggy to the 3.


what the Nuggets really lose is the possibility that Gallo steps up and puts his game together, fully.

[bagelred]

Your jokes are never funny man....

You keep avoiding my question because you know im correct.

Do you like every single person that is of the same backround as yourself? No. So disliking a person especially based on my belief of his lack of skill doesnt make me a self hating Italian because he is of the same nationality.

[NewYorkNoPicks]

He wishes everything he said wasn't ridiculous but sometimes wishes just don't come true.

I said Galliari has an overrated shot an a shakey handle....thats not true?

They'd be real good teammates, they could compare injury histories. I'd rather have Gallo too personally.

The good news, I guess you could call it, is that Gallo at this point is not good enough yet that his loss totally throws this team out of contention.

The bad news, as others have mentioned, is that he'll lose ground on his progress.

I don't see that at all. This is the sort of the thing that may very well force him to put it all together. There's no reason for it to stunt his progress.



i would not trade gallo for EG


I think Gordon is actually perfect for you...and while Gallinari still has a very high ceiling (I always forget how young he is) Gordon has the higher ceiling. Gordon's injuries are more worrying tho, because it's general knee stuff.

[kurple]

feel really bad for him (gallo). he seemed to be pretty devestated after his poor game7 preformance last year. and now he wont get the chance to redeem himself

2nd of all you're road record is worse than ours (well technically the same) and the only reason you have a good record at home is the altitude. Unfortunately there is a reason why Denver never won in the postseason. Teams get used to the altitude in a 7 game series.

If they keep 6 and if we keep 3

What? The Warriors already had a hell of a chance when Galli was healthy, instead of 7 it's just going to be 6.

[PickernRoller]

But it wud be funny if warriors beat them tho:lol

hehe rooting for GSW is always great as an underdog. Then again I don't think they are ready to take on the Nuggets. I wouldn't mind an upset....I don't want to see George Carl embarrass D'Antoni by any means. They took us to 7 games last season - bad, bad match up.

[SacJB Shady]

If the Warriors are healthy and Lawson isn't 100 percent and Gall is out, of course the Warriors would take that. Too bad though now Nuggets fans are already copping out and saying it's only because they don't have Gallo.

nuggets bench could take the warriors in a 7 game series

all we need is dat altitude

If there is no Gallo though.. Landry, Jack,( 2 top 10 six men) and then Jefferson who shut Andre Miller down. Also Biedrins and Ezeli we got in case Bogut gets in foul trouble. W's don't have many weak players.

only think scary about the warriors is their 3pt shooting

No. Also, the 2nd best defensive field goal percentage. Bogut has made a difference as well.

With the NBA Playoffs mere weeks away, the Denver Nuggets just lost a crucial part of their team to major injury.

An MRI exam today revealed that Nuggets forward Danilo Gallinari suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee during Thursday night

[Whoah10115]

The Nuggets will still beat the Warriors.

so same road record but much better home record. and better record overall. and playing better now. and 3-1 in the season series.

great argument! :oldlol:

(btw: weve never won in the postseason? at least we make it. too easy)

[NugzFan]

every team always has "a chance". we had a chance vs the thunder too had we ever played them. doesnt mean we would have won.

but we matched up so well vs the warriors and proved it over a full season. the fact that it took a huge injury just to make this a discussion is proof enough. but i dont think we can hang onto 3 the last 2 weeks anyways. we probably face the clippers and memphis ends up 3 is my guess.

exactly the point. thank you. :applause:

are you off your meds again?

U mean if lakers go to west finals?

[ProfessorMurder]

My phone, internet and tv have been out since the game ended yesterday, just heard the news. That f*cking sucks. Does anyone know if it's a partial tear like Rondo's or a full on tear? I'm assuming full.

If Lawson can come back at 80% they can still get to the 2nd round, maybe even the west finals. Chandler can score and Brewer has been unreal lately. Losing Gallo is rough, but Lawson is more important in my opinion.

no chance at west finals. we needed everything we had to get past spurs/thunder and even then it wasnt even a 50-50 series. without gallo we cannot overcome their star power and the calls.

It doesn't matter if its partial or a full tear, you still get the same surgery
