Bargnani (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday and is considered probable to play Thursday against the 76ers, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

A hamstring strain has kept Bargnani out of each of the last four games, but he's trending in the right direction after logging a practice session Wednesday. The former No. 1 overall pick has scored in double-digits three times this season, but he's been mostly ineffective off the bench, shooting just 41 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from three-point range.
