Gallinari not to play for team Italy in September


Hi all,

I'll try to repay the favour to my daily source of Clippers news ( a very BIG thank you for all your work!) with this small contribution. It's a quote from Gallo about not playing for team Italy that appeared on an Italian sports newspaper today.

"Unfortunately, I won’t be joining the Italy National team for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers. To represent my country has always been very important for me. In fact, I couldn’t wait to play for Italy again. However, after consulting with the Clippers, the medical staff and my agent, we came to the decision that it’s for the best for me to stay in the USA to prepare for the 2018-19 season instead of playing those qualifiers. My goal is to have a great start to the season since training camp and become a leader of the team. I wish team Italy all the best and I hope I’ll be joining them at the World Cup next year with the aim of competing at the highest level."
