Raptors Sign Former All-Star Forward, Danilo Gallinari, to Bolster Roster Ahead of New Season
– The Toronto Raptors have announced the signing of veteran forward Danilo Gallinari to a two-year contract worth $21 million.
– Gallinari, a former All-Star, brings a wealth of experience and scoring prowess to the Raptors, who are looking to bolster their lineup after a first-round playoff exit last season.
– The 34-year-old Italian forward has averaged 15.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game throughout his career, playing for teams like the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, and Oklahoma City Thunder.
– Raptors President Masai Ujiri praised Gallinari’s “proven scoring ability and veteran leadership,” which will be invaluable to the team’s young core.
– The move is seen as a significant boost to the Raptors’ offense, which struggled at times last season. Gallinari is expected to play a key role off the bench, providing scoring and playmaking support to the team’s starting lineup.
