“My guess is a week to 10 days is when I’ll be back,” Gallinari said. “At least that’s my hope. I wish it could be sooner, but it’s not working out that way.” The 2008 lottery pick has been out the past seven games due to the glute issue. “It’s discomfort now,” he said. “Since it’s a tear, you’ve got to wait for the fibers to kind of get back together and you’ve got to strengthen it. So now I just started barely running on the ... [treadmill] machine. That’s it.”
