More on this storyline

Omari Sanfoka II: Monty on Stewart and Muscala being out: “It takes some physicality, some shooting away. It is what it is. I never think about it that way … the reality is they you look at what you have and make the most of that rotation.” Said Gallinari filled in well Wednesday. -via Twitter @omarisankofa / February 2, 2024
Omari Sanfoka II: Monty: “If you look around the league at young teams, what they’ve done is surround their guys with savvy, experienced guys who can still play. Anytime you can do that with high-character guys like Mike and Gallo, it’s going to be a benefit for your team.” -via Twitter @omarisankofa / January 17, 2024
James Edwards III: Williams on Muscala and Gallo fitting in: “If we can use them both, we will. Tonight is a night we’re playing against such a big team, you could see them both on the floor.” -via Twitter @JLEdwardsIII / January 17, 2024
