Even if he misses the rest of the season, because as he said to the Italian edition of Eurosport he doesn’t know when he will return, Danilo Gallinari after his best season in the NBA wants to lead his national team in the pre-Olympic tournament of Turin.
As he said: “I can not wait to start practicing with the national team, like all the times when I am part of the “azzurri”. It will be a beautiful summer, we can do very well. We have talked a lot already with coach Messina. I can not wait to start working with him”.
For him and for Italy the pre-Olympic tournament of Turin is more than a challenge: “I think it’s a unique chance that we must grab. I am very happy to play in Italy, we hope to entertain our audience, which I hope will be very present in Turin”.
Gallinari also spoke about his NBA future: “I am very happy to be in Denver and I hope to win something here and play in this town for many years, before thinking of playing in somewhere else”.
