Nets' Andrea Bargnani: Probable to play Thursday

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

A hamstring strain has kept Bargnani out of each of the last four games, but he's trending in the right direction to return to active status Thursday. 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 41.0 percent from the field and 22.2 percent from three.
