Sat Nov 22 201410:17Andrea Bargnani: Strains Calf, Out Saturday
Bargnani strained his calf during Friday's practice and will not play against the 76ers on Saturday, The Record reports.
Bargnani has been sidelined for the entire season with a lingering hamstring injury but was potentially going to make a comeback Saturday. However, he's further away from making a return than before he rejoined practice. It's still unclear how severe the calf strain is, so he should be considered day-to-day moving forward.

Bargnani has yet to play this season, but the hope was that he could possibly make a return for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Considering he was limited in practice just a day before the game, he seems highly questionable to play Saturday. If he is able to play, Bargnani would most likely serve only in limited minutes. Otherwise if he does sit out against the Sixers, his next shot to return would be Monday against the Houston Rockets.

Bargnani (hamstring) could return Saturday at the earliest, ESPN New York's Ian Begley reports.
The hope is that Bargnani can scrimmage with the team later this week, and if he is able to do so, the team may clear him for Saturday's game. It is best to take a wait and see approach, as it's conceivable Bargnani could be a minor part of the Knicks' rotation at the outset.

Mon Nov 10 201420:44Bargnani (hamstring) has not played yet this season
Bargnani (hamstring) has not played yet this season, and he is not expected to be available for Wednesday's game against the Magic, the NY Post reports.
While the Knicks have been noncommittal with their starting frontcourt rotation so far this season, it seems unreasonable to expect Bargnani to step in and play within the triangle offense without a learning curve. He's struggled to define himself in the NBA over the last few seasons, and after president Phil Jackson told said that Bargnani doesn't have the range to shoot three-point shots, the big man's potential for this season was sapped even more. We're avoiding Bargnani in anything but the deepest of leagues.

Bargnani has struggled with a hamstring injury for the past two weeks. The injury initially appeared to be a minor problem, however he will now miss at least three weeks total to recover from this injury.
