Andrea Bargnani, who had an appendectomy March 21 that kept him out of 11 games before missing two with a sinus infection, went through a tough workout at the Air Canada Centre on Monday, his first exhaustive session since the surgery.
He only practiced twice after the operation before getting hit by the sinus problem that set him back again.
While he said Monday he's feeling better, the team figures he will get more benefit from a workout in Toronto today rather than playing in a meaningless game against the Pistons.
"We worked him hard, we'll see how he recovers and work him hard again and then see," coach Sam Mitchell said Monday.
