Veteran forward Danilo Gallinari, who signed a two-year, $13.3 million deal with the Celtics in July, is also expected to miss the season after sustaining a knee injury while playing for Italy in a FIBA World Cup qualifier late last month. He underwent surgery for a left knee revision ACL repair.
A six-time All-Star and No. 1 overall pick of the 2009 NBA Draft, Griffin averaged 6.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 56 games (24 starts) last season with the Brooklyn Nets.
Griffin has averaged 19.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists over 724 career games (676 starts) with the Los Angeles Clippers (2010-2018), Detroit Pistons (2018-2021), and Nets. – Rappler.com
