Bargnani made his regular season debut against the
On 21 March 2007, Bargnani underwent emergency
2007–08 season
On 5 October 2007, the Raptors announced they had exercised a third year option on Bargnani, giving a guaranteed NBA contract through the
2008–09 season
However, Toronto did not give up on Bargnani yet and committed the entire summer coaching him to become a more effective interior player, forcing him to drive to the basket more and settle less for jump shots. The arrival of six-time
On 21 November 2008, Bargnani recorded a career-high 29 points, as well as 10 rebounds in an
2009–10 season
Bargnani's form and numbers continued in the
2010–11 season
Toronto's franchise player Chris Bosh opted to leave for Miami as a free agent after his contract with the Raptors was up. As a result, Bargnani became the focal point of Toronto's offense. On 8 December 2010, he scored a career-high 41 points in a losing effort against the New York Knicks.[28] Bargnani had a career year, averaging 21 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block.
2011–12 season
During the 2011 NBA lockout, Bargnani chose not to sign overseas and decided instead to work on his game and develop into more of a power forward following the Raptors' acquisition of Lithuanian center Jonas Valančiūnas in the 2011 NBA draft.[29] On 28 March 2012, in a game against the Denver Nuggets, Bargnani scored 26 points and became the 4th player to ever score 6000 points as a Raptor.[30]
2012–13 season
After managing the first 21 games of the season, Bargnani missed the next two months of action with the Raptors following an elbow injury in early December.[31] He returned to the line-up on 6 February 2013, but after managing another 14 games, he was ruled out for the rest of the season on 13 March because of the same injury.[32]
New York Knicks (2013–2015)
2013–14 season
On 10 July 2013, Bargnani was traded to the New York Knicks in exchange for Steve Novak, Marcus Camby and Quentin Richardson, along with a future first round draft pick (2016), and two future second round draft picks (2014 & 2017).[33]
On 18 December 2013, in a game at the Milwaukee Bucks, with 20 seconds remaining in overtime where the Knicks held a two-point lead, Bargnani received an offensive rebound and, instead of dribbling out the clock or getting fouled to go to the free throw line, inexplicably shot a three-pointer that missed. The game went into double overtime as a result, where the Knicks outscored the Bucks 13–7 to hold on for a 107–101 win.[34]
On 22 January 2014, in a loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Bargnani suffered a torn ligament in his left elbow after a failed dunk attempt, and was ruled out indefinitely, eventually missing the rest of the regular season. The Knicks finished the season at 37–45 and missed the playoffs.
2014–15 season
After missing most of the preseason with a hamstring injury, Bargnani was set to make his season debut on 22 November when he was ruled out indefinitely again with a strained calf muscle.[35] He went on to make his season debut on 31 December against the Los Angeles Clippers after having not played for nearly a year. In just under 20 minutes of action off the bench, he recorded 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the 78–99 loss.[36] However, the following game on 2 January, Bargnani re-injured his right calf during the first quarter of the Knicks' 81–97 loss to the Detroit Pistons.[37] He missed a further 16 games before making his second return of the season against Miami on 9 February.[38]
Brooklyn Nets (2015–2016)
On 17 July 2015, Bargnani signed with the Brooklyn Nets.[39] He made his debut for the Nets in the team's season opener against the Chicago Bulls on 28 October, recording 17 points and 7 rebounds off the bench in a 115–100 loss.[40] On 10 December, he scored a season-high 23 points in a 110–91 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.[41] On 20 February 2016, he was waived by the Nets.[42]
Baskonia (2016–2017)
On 26 July 2016, Bargnani returned to Europe and signed a two-year deal with Spanish club Baskonia.[43] On 14 October 2016, in his first EuroLeague game of the season, Bargnani scored a season-best 26 points in an 85–84 win over Anadolu Efes.[44] On 26 April 2017, Baskonia parted ways with Bargnani after a plague of injuries.[45] In 15 EuroLeague games, he averaged 8.8 points per game, and in 14 ACB games, he averaged 11.5 points per game.
