Gallinari, 28, inked a three-year, $65 million deal with the Clippers earlier this month, coming over from the Denver Nuggets in a sign-and-trade.
Per ESPN:
After landing a punch in a European exhibition game for Italy, LA Clippers forward Danilo Gallinari suffered a right thumb injury that isn’t expected to require surgery, league sources said.
Clippers doctors are planning to examine the injury soon, but the initial diagnosis calls for a month of rest and rehabilitation on the thumb, sources said.
Gallinari, 28, slugged the Netherlands’ Jito Kok in a scuffle, causing the injury that sent him to a local hospital.
