Andrea "Il Mago" Bargnani was named the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for the second month in a row today, but unfortunately a family emergency means he has little time to celebrate. From
SLAM! Sports:
Toronto Raptors rookie Andrea Bargnani will miss the team's next two games due to an illness in his family.
According to a team spokesman, the 21-year-old was waiting out poor weather in Toronto before flying home to Italy. The Raptors play host to the Milwaukee Bucks Friday before visiting the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday.
He's expected back in time Tuesday's road game against the Washington Wizards.
At least the Raps will play one of their next two games at the Air Canada Centre, where they're surprisingly tied for the fewest home losses in the entire Eastern Conference (and trail only Utah, Phoenix and Dallas in the league). Expect a bit more playing time for Kris Humphries, who had a season-high 16 points on Wednesday, and Jorge Garbajosa.

Update: Bad weather has cancelled his flight, so he will be playing the Bucks, but will be gone for the Cleveland game.
