You might reasonably think that an injured player might not see the inside of a gym as much as their healthy teammates, but according to Boston Celtics veteran forward Danilo Gallinari in a recent interview with the Olympic’s Scott Bregman, the exact opposite is true.
“Believe it or not, when you are injured, you spend way more time in the gym than when you’re not injured,” explained Gallinari, who has stayed close to the team despite being unable to play last season due to an ACL tear sustained in the 2022 offseason. “The rehab process is such a long and tough process that you spend a lot of hours in the gym.”
