Since then he has put together 777 games in the NBA, also becoming a pillar of our national basketball team. However, several injuries have undermined his career especially in recent years. As for his private life, he is married to the presenter Eleonora Boi and the couple has two children.
Released at the end of the year by the Milwaukee Bucks, Gallinari decided not to return to play in Italy with his Milan, but signed with the Vaqueros de Bayamón, a franchise in Puerto Rico.
The reason is easy to say and it is certainly not a question of money: he has now settled with his family in Miami, which is a three-hour flight from Puerto Rico. In addition, in this way he has kept open the possibility of a call from the NBA during the current season given the specific clause inserted in his contract, all this without staying still to be ready for the national team.
