Andrew Bargnani will miss the first three games of the season but I’m sure Knicks fans are just fine with that.
via ProBasketballTalk:
Andrea Bargnani will miss at least the first three regular season games for the Knicks, according to the team. He’s sat out the last two weeks of training camp and preseason with a hamstring injury and underwent an MRI earlier this week.
Bargnani will miss the Knicks’ season opener on October 29 against the Chicago Bulls, the October 30 game in Cleveland against the Cavaliers, and the November 2 home game against the Charlotte Hornets. And possibly more.
Bargnani has been plagued by injuries for several years, appearing in just 42 games last season after suffering a torn ligament in his right elbow. He averaged 13.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in his first season with the Knicks.
With Bargnani out, it’s likely that Jason Smith will start at power forward, with either Samuel Dalembert or Cole Aldrich at center.
