Andrea Bargnani, Brooklyn Nets center and member of the Italian men’s national basketball team, is “likely to play” Wednesday in the Eurobasket quarterfinals, according to Sportando. Bargnani suffered a calf injury late in the first half of a game against Israel this past Sunday.

The game will take place at 3:00 P.M. Wednesday on NBA TV.

He is officially listed as a game-time decision. On his Twitter account, Bargnani says (in his native tongue) that he’s undergoing physical therapy, with the hopes of being able to play:

In six Eurobasket games, Bargnani has posted averages of 12.7 points and 3.7 rebounds, and one block in 20.8 minutes per game, shooting 54.2 percent from the field (32-59) and hitting six of 11 three-pointers.

Bojan Bogdanovic, the other Nets player in Eurobasket, was eliminated from contention this weekend on Saturday after his Croatian national team fell to the Czech Republic, 80-59. Bogdanovic, who suffered an ankle injury and a minor concussion during the tournament, shot just 31.5 percent from the field in Eurobasket, hitting a dismal 4 of 24 three-pointers.
