Bucks' Danilo Gallinari: Pops for 11 points in loss
Rotowire
Gallinari produced 11 points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes during Friday's 125-107 loss to the Thunder.
Gallinari saw some extra run in the loss, much like a host of his teammates. Despite keeping the game relatively close, Milwaukee opted to limit their starters ahead of what promises to be a grueling playoff run. On most nights, we can expect to see Gallinari spending the bulk of his time on the bench.
Gallinari posted two points (2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound across seven minutes during Wednesday's 111-101 loss to Memphis.
Since signing with the Bucks on Feb. 21, the 35-year-old has averaged 2.4 points and 0.9 rebounds in 8.7 minutes, appearing in 15 games. The 14-year NBA vet missed the 2022-23 campaign after tearing his ACL, and his numbers have been on the decline significantly since returning. Gallinari should not be expected to receive significant minutes unless Khris Middleton (ankle) is sidelined.

Bucks' Danilo Gallinari: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Gallinari (recently signed) isn't listed on Milwaukee's injury report ahead of Friday's game against Minnesota.
After being waived by Detroit, Gallinari signed with the Bucks ahead of the All-Star break and will be available for Milwaukee's first game of the second-half schedule. With Khris Middleton (ankle) still out, there should be minutes available for Gallinari off the bench, but it'd be surprising if his role was large enough to generate fantasy-relevant production.
Gallinari agreed to a contract with the Bucks on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Gallinari was waived by the Pistons last week and was considering offers from multiple contenders before ultimately deciding to sign a contract with the Bucks. He'll reunite with his former head coach, Doc Rivers, and should have an opportunity to carve out a decent role with his new team following the All-Star break. Gallinari made 32 appearances between the Wizards and Pistons earlier this year and averaged 7.3 points and 2.8 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game.
The Pistons will waive Gallinari on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Gallinari didn't join the Pistons in Portland ahead of Thursday's contest and will be cut loose to make room on the roster for the team's new trade acquisitions. He'll be free to sign with a team of his choosing upon clearing waivers, but it's unlikely the 35-year-old forward will command much fantasy value to close out the season. After missing the entire 2022-23 season while recovering from an ACL tear, Gallinari averaged 7.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 three-pointers in 14.8 minutes per game over his 32 appearances with the Wizards and Pistons while shooting 45.1 percent from the field.

Pistons' Danilo Gallinari: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Gallinari (not with team) won't play Thursday against the Trail Blazers.
It's unclear exactly why Gallinari isn't with the team, but he's not a large enough part of the rotation for his playing status to impact fantasy hoops. His next chance to play will come Saturday against the Clippers.
