Danilo Gallinari has missed every game so far this season as he is rehabbing from a torn ACL. It appears however, that the big man could be out for the rest of the season. While he has not had a time-able yet, he was expected to back around March or even April. The news is not good at all for Nuggets fans since a presence down low has been lacking. ACL injuries are tough to come back from, and the big man had this to say about his recovery.

"I got over the most boring part, by now. The muscle tone is back, in the gym I lift weights I never lifted before. I work with the ball and changes of direction. Let’s say I still have to work on the mental part, the most important one. Because it’s inevitable to think about my knee – Said Gallo, who added – I haven’t set a date for the comeback. It’s a decision we will take further on. Hypothesis to miss this season? Everything can happen. It’s an idea that passed through my mind. But then, maybe, I get back before.”"
