Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari suffered a torn left meniscus while playing for Italy in a FIBA World Cup qualifying game Saturday.
The Italian team did not disclose a timetable for Gallinari's recovery but said he would miss next month's EuroBasket tournament.
Gallinari grabbed his knee after a bounce pass in the lane while playing against Georgia in Brescia, Italy. He hobbled over to the sideline, holding the back of the knee as trainers rushed to his aid, before limping to the locker room with the help of a staff member and a teammate.
