Gallinari (knee) is listed as out Monday for Game 7 of the Celtics' Eastern Conference Finals series versus the Heat.
The Celtics haven't officially commented on Gallinari's status for the rest of the postseason, but given that he hasn't played at all during the 2022-23 campaign while recovering from a torn ACL in his left knee, it's difficult to envision him having any sort of role even if he can gain clearance should Boston advance to the NBA Finals.

Celtics' Danilo Gallinari: Still eyeing postseason return
Rotowire
Gallinari (knee) said Sunday in an interview with Gianluca Bortolomai of AroundTheGame.com that his goal remains to return to game action at some point during the Celtics' postseason run.
At the time he underwent surgery in late September to address a torn ACL sustained while playing for the Italian national team in EuroBasket 2022, Gallinari indicated that he wasn't ready to rule himself out for the 2022-23 season. Though Gallinari seems to have now dismissed the possibility of a regular-season return, he's been encouraged enough by his rehab thus far to remain focused on playing during the postseason. Gallinari has continued to conduct his rehab under the supervision of the Celtics' training staff and has even traveled for most of the team's road games, but Boston has yet to reveal when he'll be ready to resume on-court work. If Gallinari makes it back at some point during the playoffs, he'll likely be tasked with handling only a limited role off the bench.
