It looks like Danilo Gallinari’s time with the Washington Wizards will be a brief one. The Italian power forward who was acquired by the Wizards as part of the Kristaps Porzingis trade, will be bought out, according to Jake Fischer of Yahoo! Sports.
According to Fischer’s reporting, the Wizards and Gallinari are expected to agree on a buyout, making him a free agent who can sign with any team he wants. The 34-year-old sharpshooter is recovering from a torn ACL that saw him miss the entire 2022-23 season. It makes sense for him to want to play for a contending team in this late stage of his career instead of the rebuilding Wizards.
