When the Atlanta Hawks traded for Danilo Gallinari, they were looking to get a veteran big man who could help space the floor for Trae Young. There are also some who would suggest that Gallinari was insurance if they could not re-sign John Collins for the 2021-22 season.
The season did not start well for Gallinari. He rolled his ankle on the foot of a player early in the second game that he played. The big Italian would then miss the next ten games and the Hawks really missed the big man.
