=Edimes Pavia (2005–2006)=

In 2005, Gallinari was acquired by Armani Jeans Milano, which then sent him to Edimes Pavia, a team competing in the Italian league second division championship during the 2005–2006 season, so that he could earn more experience with extended playing minutes. Even though he played only half of the season due to an injury, in 2006 he was nominated as the best Italian player of the Italian league second division championship, averaging 14.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals, and 0.8 assists in 17 games.{{cite web |url=http://www.legaduebasket.it/player/?id=GAL-DAN-88 |title=LegaDue page on Gallinari |publisher=Legaduebasket.it |date=2006-06-30 |access-date=2012-01-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120212205457/http://www.legaduebasket.it/player/?id=GAL-DAN-88 |archive-date=2012-02-12 |url-status=dead }}

=New York Knicks (2008–2011)=

Gallinari's contract with Olimpia Milano had an escape clause for playing professionally in the United States, effectively eliminating major encumbrances that would have prevented him from joining the National Basketball Association (NBA). On 23 April 2008, he decided to declare himself eligible for the 2008 NBA draft. Gallinari signed an endorsement deal with Reebok before being drafted into the NBA. He has his own sneaker, made by Reebok, called "The Rooster."{{cite news |last=Littmann |first=Chris |url=http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/the_sporting_blog/entry/view/8677/firstcuts_reebok_inks_gallinari,_debuts_shoe |title=FirstCuts: Reebok Inks Gallinari, Debuts Shoe |work=Sporting News |date=2008-06-27 |access-date=2010-12-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100213022755/http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/the_sporting_blog/entry/view/8677/firstcuts_reebok_inks_gallinari,_debuts_shoe |archive-date=2010-02-13 |url-status=dead }}

Gallinari was drafted sixth overall in the 2008 draft by the New York Knicks. He then signed a two-year contract with the team.{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=3479069 |title=Knicks sign Gallinari |publisher=ESPN |date=2008-07-08 |access-date=2012-01-23}}

Just one game into the 2008–09 season, it was announced Gallinari would most likely miss most of the remainder of the season due to back problems.{{cite web |url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/2008/11/12/2008-11-12_danilo_gallinaris_back_future_up_in_air.html |title=Danilo Gallinari's back, future up in air |publisher=Nydailynews.com |date=2008-11-12 |access-date=2012-01-23 |archive-date=2 January 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110102082307/http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/2008/11/12/2008-11-12_danilo_gallinaris_back_future_up_in_air.html |url-status=dead }} Despite his back problems, he came back into play on 17 January, during a game the Knicks lost to Philadelphia. On 4 March, Gallinari scored a season-high 17 points against the Atlanta Hawks, shooting 4–5 on three-point field goal attempts.

On 23 October 2009, the Knicks picked up Gallinari's contract option.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/2009/news/10/23/knicks.moves.ap/index.html |title=Knicks pick up options on Chandler, Gallinari|work=NBA.com|date=2009-10-23}}

With the Knicks freeing up roster space for Gallinari with the trade of Quentin Richardson, and with Al Harrington being relegated to the bench, head coach Mike D'Antoni named Gallinari a starter two games into the 2009 NBA season.{{cite news|url=https://www.espn.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/10220/lineup-change-for-knicks-gallinari-in-harrington-out |title=Lineup change for Knicks: Gallinari in; Harrington out |work=ESPN |access-date=2010-12-18}}{{cite web|first=Alan|last=Hahn|url=http://www.newsday.com/blogs/sports/the-knicks-fix-1.812055/gallinari-will-start-harrington-to-the-bench-1.1558524 |title=Gallinari will start; Harrington to the bench |publisher=Newsday.com |date=2009-10-31 |access-date=2010-12-18}} On 31 October 2009, the third game of the 2009 season, Gallinari scored a career-high 30 points and made eight three-pointers in an overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, one short of tying a Knicks franchise record held by Latrell Sprewell and John Starks.{{cite web|url=http://www.nba.com/games/20091031/PHINYK/boxscore.html |title=Sixers Knicks Boxscore |work=NBA.com |access-date=2010-12-18}} Gallinari set a new career high on 6 April 2010, with 31 points in a 104–101 win over the Boston Celtics.{{cite news|last=Hahn|first=Alan|title=Gallinari's 31 points lead Knicks over Celtics|work=Newsday|date=2010-04-06|url=https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/knicks/gallinari-s-31-points-lead-knicks-over-celtics-1.1850021|access-date=2020-09-14}}
