The Toronto Raptors suffer a major blow as Andrea Bargnani will miss the rest of the regular season
Rookie F/C Andrea Bargnani will miss the remainder of the regular season after undergoing an emergency appendectomy on March 21st. He should be able to return for the playoffs as long as he has no setbacks in his recovery. Bargnani played in 64 games this season and he averaged 25.0 minutes, 11.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.8 assists. He hit 37.6% from three point range and 82.8% from the free throw line and that shooting will be missed some by the Raptors. Bargnani had a solid rookie season as he reminds me of Dirk Nowitzki when he first came into the NBA. If he turns into that kind of player, the Raptors will be a legit championship contender soon.
