Andrea Bargnani: Nursing Hamstring Strain

Bargnani (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Celtics, Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Bargnani's hamstring strain is being classified as "mild," but the team can afford to play it safe with the eight-year veteran. He may be in danger of missing Monday's tilt, and perhaps Tuesday's as well, but there's been nothing to suggest it could affect his regular-season availability.
