Bargnani will start at center against Detroit on Friday.

Bargnani will replace Jason Smith, who should be the first big man off the bench once Bargnani or Lou Amundson leave the rotation. Bargnani is an intriguing daily fantasy consideration with four straight games with double-digit points while averaging just 23.5 minutes in those four games, but reliability isn't Bargnani's strong suit.

Bargnani scored 17 points (5-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-9 FT) with six rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 25 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's loss to the Celtics.

Do not look now, but Bargnani has four straight games in double-digit scoring. His field goal percentage has been characteristically poor though. His lack of ability to contribute in other areas means he can stay on the waiver wire in 10-12 team leagues.

Bargnani put up four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT) with two rebounds and a block in 14 minutes in the loss to Miami on Monday.

Bargnani saw his first action since Jan. 2 and has played in just three games this season. He committed three quick fouls. If he can manage to stay healthy, he could earn playing time for the woeful Knicks.

Bargnani (calf) is available to play Monday against the Heat.

Considering that he's played in just two games this season, there's no guarantee that he'll receive significant minutes upon returning from his ailment. It would be prudent to wait and see if he can avoid a setback before adding him with the hope of getting contributions in the range of his averages from a year ago (13.3 points per game, 5.3 rebounds per game).

Bargnani (calf) remains without a timetable to return, Newsday's Al Iannazzone reports.

Even given how pathetic the rest of the Knicks are playing, it is not worth rostering Bargnani in most leagues until he can return and prove himself capable of playing a few games without a setback. Jason Smith and Lou Amundson have been starting in the Knicks' frontcourt with Amare Stoudemire and Cole Aldrich also out with injuries.

Bargnani (calf) missed his 10th straight game Wednesday against the Thunder.

There's no real timetable for Bargnani's return, but he's officially considered day-to-day. His next opportunity to return is Thursday against the Pacers, but he's played just two games all season.

Bargnani (calf) will not play in Saturday's game against the Hornets, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

Bargnani is technically listed as day-to-day, although he's only played in two games this season and the Knicks don't appear to be in any hurry to get him back on the court. His next opportunity to play will come against the Kings on Monday but there's not a convincing reason to deploy Bargnani in any format.

Bargnani could be waived after the trade deadline, Alan Hahn of the MSG Network reports.

Bargnani has basically been hurt is entire career and has only appeared in two games for the Knicks this season. Bargnani could become a trade piece prior to the Feb. 20 deadline, or he could be cut from the team entirely. Either way, he shouldn't be owned in any leagues right now until he becomes healthy or the Knicks move him.

Bargnani (calf) will not play against the Hornets on Saturday.

Bargnani has played in just two games this season and he's likely hesitant to rush his comeback since the Knicks are all but eliminated from playoff contention already. Even so, his next chance to return will be against the Bucks on Thursday.

Bargnani (calf) is out for Thursday's game against the Rockets.

Bargnani is also expected to miss Saturday's game against the Hornets, and it won't be surprising if he's out beyond that. The Knicks will start Jason Smith and Cole Aldrich up front Thursday night.

Bargnani (calf) will not play Wednesday against Washington and will likely miss the Knicks' next two games, Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports.

Bargnani, who has missed the last two games since re-injuring his calf Friday against Detroit, will likely be shut down until next week, when the Knicks hope to have him back for the Jan. 15 showdown with Milwaukee in London. Bargnani has played in only two games this season but could see significant minutes when healthy.

Bargnani (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Memphis, Steve Popper of The Record reports.

After leaving Friday's loss to Detroit with calf soreness, Bargnani was held out of Sunday's game against Milwaukee and will sit out again Monday. He's without a firm timetable and should be considered day-to-day until further notice. If Bargnani is able to get some work in Tuesday, there's a possibility he could return for Wednesday's matchup with Washington.

Bargnani (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.

Bargnani was considered doubtful coming into the game, so it's no surprise to see him ruled out. He played just two minutes Friday against Detroit before departing the game with soreness in his calf. The issue doesn't look to be anything serious, but given his illustrious injury history, it's best to err on the side of caution. Regardless, at this point, Bargnani is not relevant in most formats, though he could be worthy of a flier later in the season if he sees consistent minutes.

Bargnani (calf) is doubtful for Sunday's game, Newsday's Al Iannazzone reports.

He left Friday's game with a sore right calf, which has to be pretty emotionally devastating for Bargnani as it was just his second game after rehabbing from a hamstring injury for several months. He should not be trusted to stay healthy for long stretches of time at this point in his career and should only be owned in deeper leagues.

Bargnani left Friday's game with a sore right calf and did not return.

Bargnani played just two minutes before leaving. This was just his second game back from hamstring and calf injuries that kept him out the first 33 games of the season. For now, he is listed as day-to-day. If the injury ends up being significant, Jason Smith and Cole Aldrich should continue to rack up minutes in the frontcourt.

Bargnani has a sore right calf and is doubtful to return to Friday's game.

After logging one full game since returning from a hamstring injury, Bargnani seems to be ailing once again. Few things are more predictable than Bargnani missing time at this point in his career, and he should not be counted on to play many games in a row going forward. Consider him day-to-day.

Bargnani (hamstring) played in his first game of the season Wednesday against the Clippers. He played 20 minutes and provided nine points (4-11 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, and two assists.

Bargnani could help the Knicks score more points and launch 3-pointers. The team has only scored 79 points in each of its last two games. Despite being limited to 20 minutes, the former top draft pick took 11 shots. He will be firing it up whenever he gets the ball and could be useful in deeper leagues as a center-eligible scorer.

Bargnani (hamstring) will be active Wednesday against the Clippers, the New York Post's Marc Berman reports.

He practiced Tuesday, but it would seem the Knicks will ease him into the rotation in his first action of the season, and there is even a slight chance he won't be deployed despite being active. In most formats it would be best to take a wait and see approach before using a roster spot on Bargnani.

Bargnani (hamstring) practiced Tuesday and is listed as questionable to play Wednesday against the Clippers, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

The oft-injured Italian is yet to play this season while battling nagging hamstring/calf issues. His return to practice came without much warning, as the Knicks had not updated his status in several weeks. Given the fact that he's likely still working his way into game shape, it seems rather improbable that he'll play Wednesday, but the "questionable" designation leaves the door open. If he does not take the floor, expect his debut to come in the near future.

Bargnani (hamstring/calf) does not currently have a timetable for return, NBC Sports reports.

Bargnani missed the first portion of the season with a lingering hamstring injury but also picked up a calf strain before returning to the court. As it stands, Bargnani is nursing two injuries and should be considered out until an update on his status is released.
