Danilo Gallinari: (Knee) Set To Return Friday

Gallinari (knee) will be available to play Friday against the Celtics, Chris Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

It's been more than a month since Gallinari played after a meniscus tear was discovered in late-December. He's participated in only 24 gamest his season and is averaging just 7.8 points on 36.0 percent shooting in 18.8 minutes - his fewest minutes since 2008-09. He'll likely be brought along slowly, and given his struggles this season, he should be avoided until he proves healthy enough to contribute on a nightly basis.
