Gallinari first underwent a procedure called Healing Response. It didn't work and he had to go back in for a traditional surgery

The surgery was done by Dr. Steve Traina at the Midtown Surgical Center #nuggets

My God. Earl Boykins is on 104.3 The Fan frequently. I really liked watching him play (short little fella), but good God I hate his voice.

Gallo: "Of course I would have preferred not to happen and are partly annoyed" at the situation. But it is "Needless to reconsider or argue"

Gallinari, on Facebook said that while strong, during rehab his knee had a "slight instability" that "started creating doubt." #Nuggets

While the news of Danilo Gallinari’s need for another ACL surgery still was sending waves through the Nuggets organization, they are gradually getting good returns on another player out for an indefinite period of time.

Center JaVale McGee, who has been out since early November with a stress fracture in his left tibia, has recently begun some lower body activity, getting some limited work in on an elliptical machine.

“It doesn’t put any pain on my shin because my foot is never leaving the platform,” McGee said. “That’s the only thing I can do. I can’t ride the bike or treadmill.

Maybe it’s a symptom of our gentle nature out here in the fly-over time zone that mainstream media seem to be giving our local pro basketball franchise a pass for its second major blunder since last spring. The net effect of these missteps has been to cost the Nuggets two of their top three players — one permanently, the other for much longer than would otherwise have been necessary.

and from article:

The second, disclosed this week, was that forward Danilo Gallinari’s new-age approach to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee — “healing response,” dude — didn’t work. I’m told the team’s medical and training staff warned management that this was the likely outcome. They were ignored.

Who pushed for it? Gallo did, through his agent, Arn Tellem. The Nuggets’ weak front office acquiesced.

Dang it!

Every time this thread pops up with Carol's name, it gets my hopes up, only to be disappointed that Andre Miller is still on the team.

Yeah, it's weird that we haven't been able to get any value for our 100 year old team cancer who has a limited game for a PG.

Yeah, me neither. I think he is going to stick around just to spite us though.
