Clippers' Danilo Gallinari says hand still hurts but he hopes to return Friday vs. Blazers

Danilo Gallinari told Sky Sport that he will miss tonight’s game against the Suns with the hope to return Friday against the Blazers.
Gallinari was expected to return last night against the Bucks but his fractured hand is still hurting him.

“I won’t play against the Suns. I hope to play a few minutes against Portland (Friday). The hand is not completely healed but we’ll see how I can help the team in the games left in the regular season. I will try to bite the bullet for the playoffs race. The franchise asked me to grit my teeth and play. I will try to do that”.
