Danilo Gallinari Injures Hand in Fight During Exhibition Game

Danilo Gallinari represented his homeland of Italy with pride and passion in a recent exhibition game.

In fact, his cup overfloweth with passion, as the brand new LA Clipper may have gotten a bit carried away.

Unfortunately, his national pride manifested itself in a punch to the head of his Netherlands opponent.

This has reportedly produced a broken right shooting hand.

Well, the Clippers front office may not find this quite so amusing.

Here's the scuffle in question:

Not a lot to it, really.

The box out was a little on the aggressive side, but it probably didn't merit a throwing of the hands.

The punch actually did sorta land, and you can see in the footage where that right thumb may have gotten a bit mangled.

Of course, the irony of this being an international friendly is surely not lost on anyone.

At least, nobody died.

Poor Apollo.
