Danilo Gallinari is expected to join the Celtics once he officially becomes a free agent.
The Celtics hope to add some offensive firepower off the bench, while Gallinari hopes to compete for a championship.
Here’s what to know about the 33-year-old, 6-foot-10, forward from Italy, who will reportedly sign a two-year with Boston.
He comes from a basketball family.
Gallinari grew up in a small Italian city south of Milan called Graffignana which had about 2,000 residents during his childhood.
“Everybody knows each other,” Gallinari told The Oklahoman of his hometown.
