Danilo Gallinari may miss the upcoming Eurobasket and he is also thinking of opting out from his contract with Denver, as he told to “Corriere dello Sport”, but Italian national team coach Ettore Messina is prepared for anything.

The San Antonio Spurs assistant who is also the Italian national team head coach adressed the matter, speaking to the biggest Italian sport newspaper “Gazzetta dello Sport”: “I met him recently, we had lunch together, and I explained him the summer plans. He presented me one problem: considering that he might sign with another team, he will be able to do that only from July 1 and he would arrive to the national yeam training camp a few days later. That’s all. I have no reason to think anything else. I think that the interview was dictated by a concern for the history of his new contract in the NBA”.

And in any case, coach Messina is prepared for anything: “To be clear: if Danilo doesn’t want to play for the national team this summer, I won’t jump out of the window”.
