Andrea Bargnani unlikely to return soon

Andrea Bargnani admitted his injury was “terrible’’ and said a timetable for his return from rehab is tricky because the ligament is completely torn.

But even when Bargnani does return, it appears Knicks coach Mike Woodson has moved on. Woodson said the new-old small-ball lineup is likely here to stay — which means Bargnani becomes a bench player at best.

Bargnani took a bad tumble eight days ago and was ruled out “indefinitely.’’
