Danilo Gallinari has been diagnosed with a torn left meniscus. Gallinari was injured while playing for Italy in a World Cup Qualifier against Georgia on Saturday.

The extent of the tear has yet to be released. The chosen surgical options have also not been released. Meniscus tears have different ways they can be handled. Each comes with a different timeline for the player to return to playing.

Both the Italian National Team and Gallinari confirmed he will miss EuroBasket 2022, which is set to tip off next month.

Gallinari was signed to a two-year, $13.3 million contract this offseason by the Boston Celtics. The hope is Gallinari, along with fellow offseason pickup Malcolm Brogdon, will provide the bench production Boston was lacking in their NBA Finals loss to the Golden State Warriors.

The German National Team will take a break from EuroBasket preparation to play in World Cup qualifying this week. Unfortunately, Germany will be without two of their stars in the qualifying process.

Dennis Schroder will miss the World Cup qualifying due to an ankle injury Schroder will remain in Germany to receive treatment in hopes he'll be ready to play in EuroBasket.

Daniel Theis will also miss the qualifying. Theis is also expected to miss EuroBasket, but no final decision has been made on Theis' availability for that tournament.

Schroder is a free agent, after his contract expired with the Houston Rockets. Theis is now a member of the Indiana Pacers, after he was traded from the Boston Celtics this summer.
