Danilo Gallinari: Nursing left knee strain

Gallinari said after Saturday's win over the 76ers that he's been dealing with a deep bone bruise in his left knee, Christopher Dempsey of the Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

Gallinari was first added to the Nuggets' injury report Friday after acquiring the injury against the Bulls on Wednesday, but he managed to play through the issue and finished with 24 points in 39 minutes Saturday. Despite his successful line against the 76ers, Gallinari said that his knee was still "painful" throughout the contest, and it's possible the Nuggets will opt to rest him if the issue continues to linger into the new week. For now, it's expected that Gallinari will be available Tuesday against the Magic, but those planning on using the small forward for daily contests that day might want to wait for confirmation on his status.
