Basketball Betting Lines

01/27/2012 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Toronto Raptors forward Andrea Bargnani will be out for an undefined period of time after aggravating a previous calf injury.

The 26-year-old suffered a strained left calf back on January 11 and missed six games, but suffered a recurrence in a double-overtime win at Utah on Wednesday.

Tests taken in Denver on Thursday revealed no significant damage, but Bargnani will continue to be treated as symptoms arise.

In his sixth NBA season, the former first overall pick in 2006 has averaged 23.5 points and 6.4 rebounds per contest in 13 games.
