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.

Analysis:

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 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.
