Bargnani enters the upcoming season 100 percent healthy, since his previously injured elbow has been healed for the past couple months, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Analysis:

Bargnani tore a ligament in his elbow in January, which consequently ended his first season as a Knick after only 42 games. That sideline spell followed the fact that Bargnani had played just 66 games over his previous two seasons due to other injuries. However, after picking up his player option this offseason, a healthy Bargnani returns to New York for what will be the final year of his contract. Although injuries and inefficiencies limit Bargnani's value, the Italian averaged 13.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 29.9 minutes last season.
