There's been a lot of discussion of Gallinari's back problems lately with an emphasis on a bulging disc.
Generally a slipped disc (e.g. bulging) isn't necessarily a ruptured disc (a disc that has broken through its surrounding wall).
I'm guessing Gallo's condition is a slipped disc and these usually reset themselves with therapy. Athletes who properly strengthen the back muscles can sometimes prevent future episodes because the back muscles refuse to allow the disc to escape its natural position.
In any case, fans who believe that back injuries are terminal indications of problems are prematurely writing off Gallinari.
Let's get this guy strong and gradually playing. Back issues require time and strengthening.
No rush.

Necessities
Ye Newe Glory-torium
Here, dear readers, is the final resting place of all weary Knicks fans. Yes, here is where one comes when the Triangle refuses to have three sides, when biting one's lip from losing to win later is one loss too far,or when said fan simply hits 'rock' bottom. In short, "the ship be" eternally "sinking" here. Welcome aboard, rearrange the deck chairs as you please.
