Free agent Danilo Gallinari will sign with the Milwaukee Bucks for the rest of the season, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Gallinari, 35, reportedly considered offers from the Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls but ultimately settled on the Bucks. He'll join Milwaukee's frontcourt and have an opportunity to reunite with his former coach Doc Rivers, who coached Gallinari for in Los Angeles.
The 14-year veteran forward played some of his best basketball under Rivers, averaging 19.8 points per game with the Clippers in the 2018-19 season.
After jumping between the Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons this season, Gallinari joins the Bucks' bench that features Bobby Portis and Jae Crowder.
This season, Gallinari is averaging 7.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists, while shooting 45.1% from the field, 35.5% from three-point range and 85% from the free-throw line. His career averages are 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.9 threes and 1.9 assists on 42.8/38.2/87.6 shooting splits.
