I thank the club, and especially Carlos Arroyo, for their trust and for giving me the opportunity to keep the door open in case of an NBA call.
I return to the court with the excitement of new beginnings but also with the hope of a great ending in ‘azzurro,’ ready to wear the Italian jersey for one last great European adventure,” Gallinari wrote on X.
