Kawhi Leonard, Bradley Beal, and Bogdan Bogdanovic are players with the most attention on them as far as their injury statuses go to start the season.</p><p>So what are the injury statuses of Kawhi Leonard, Bradley Beal, and Bogdan Bogdanovic with opening night upon us?</p><h2><b>Kawhi Leonard’s first healthy offseason</b></h2><p>Leonard has dealt with a number of unfortunate injuries throughout his Clippers tenure, which means he’s had to rehab just as much.</p><p>But after four consecutive summers dealing with injuries or rehab — ACL tear in 2021 and 2022, meniscus tear in 2023, and knee inflammation in 2024 — Leonard just went through his first healthy offseason.</p><p>“It was just exciting to be in an offseason not going through rehab,” Leonard said entering training camp. “I was able to push my body to the limit of what I wanted to do without repercussions or dealing with a therapist or anything, so that was great for me. I was able to walk around and enjoy my summer.”</p><p>Kawhi Leonard participated in three of the four preseason games with the Clippers and is ready to go for the start of the NBA season tonight against the Jazz. Leonard isn’t expected to face any kind of minutes limit, but the Clippers are going to be smart about his workload early in games and throughout the year.</p><p>“I think balancing in the first half is important, and then in the second half, you go as you need them. So like early on in the season, we don’t want to just run guys into the ground. The first half is about just keeping their minutes down, and in the second half, we’ll try to use them as needed. We’ll see those first 10 to 12 games and see how he feels.”</p><p>Leonard averaged 16.7 points on 48.5 percent shooting in 21.4 minutes per game in the preseason while taking six three-pointers per game. It’s only preseason, but a six three-point attempt average would be a new career-high for Leonard if he were to do it over the regular season.</p><h2><b>Bradley Beal ready for opening night</b></h2><p>Bradley Beal underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in May, following the conclusions of his second season with the Phoenix Suns.</p><p>The new Clippers guard has had a healthy offseason rehabilitating his knee and trying to work his way into game shape, but was limited to start training camp. Beal partially participated in scrimmages for the first half of camp, but ramped up his activity as the preseason went along.</p><p>Beal participated in his first full scrimmage on October 6th and was upgraded to available for the Clippers’ final preseason game against the Warriors.</p><p>In just under 15 minutes, Beal recorded 12 points, two rebounds, one steal, and one blocked shot on 6-of-9 shooting from the field. His three misses were all from three, going a perfect 6-of-6 inside the arc.</p><p>“I think I came out of it pretty good for not touching the floor this whole preseason, but I wasn’t going to be super critical of myself,” Beal said of his lone preseason game. “There’s a lot of stuff I could’ve been better at on the defensive end for sure and not turning the ball over a few times. But for the most part, I felt great moving around. I think that’s the most important thing. My wind was better than I thought it would be. It was definitely a good start for sure.”</p><p>Beal said his plan has always been to be ready for opening night, and everything seems primed for that. Beal was not listed on the Clippers’ injury report for Wednesday night’s season opener against the Jazz and is slated to start alongside James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Derrick Jones Jr., and Ivica Zubac.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic ready to go despite back injury</b></h2><p>Bogdan Bogdanovic played just two minutes in the Clippers preseason opener against the Guangzhou Loong-Lions on October 9th before leaving with lower back soreness. He had been a limited participant until his return for the Clippers’ preseason finale against the Golden State Warriors on October 17th.</p><p>“It feels good, feels good to be back with the squad, playing with them,” Bogdanovic said of his return. “I’m good in general. I can’t go back. I’ve got to just look forward man. What happened, happened. Hopefully [an injury] doesn’t happen and we’re moving forward. It’s part of the game.”</p><p>Bogdanovic is expected to be a significant cog in the wheel of the Clippers’ second unit. Chris Paul and Kris Dunn have manned the backcourt well, so Bogdanovic is slated to slide into the frontcourt with John Collins and Brook Lopez, assuming the team wants to keep Nicolas Batum’s workload low early in the year.</p><p>Bogdanovic played 30 games with the Clippers after being acquired at the trade deadline. In 25 minutes a night, the Serbian guard averaged 11.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.2 assists while shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 42.7 percent from three.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-stories/eurobasket-news-nikola-jokic-serbia-lose-bogdan-bogdanovic-brutal-injury">Clippers guard was a member of Serbia’s roster</a> in EuroBasket earlier in the offseason, but he played in just two games in that tournament after suffering a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the rest of the tournament.</p><p>It is good news that the injury that ruled Bogdanovic out early in the Clippers’ first preseason game of 2025 isn’t the same as the one he suffered during EuroBasket. But it is very concerning that Bogdanovic, who is no longer a spring chicken at age 33, is already navigating injury problems after missing 28 games last year.</p><p>If there’s a team that’s gotten used to dealing with injury problems, it’s the Clippers. This explains why adding depth was crucial for them this offseason. Nonetheless, one would think that ruling Bogdanovic out was merely for precautionary reasons.</p><p>Bogdanovic is expected to fill an important bench role for the Clippers, backing up Beal and being a secondary playmaker off the pine alongside Chris Paul.</p><h2><b>Clippers dominate in first preseason win</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Kawhi-Leonard-reacts.jpg"><figcaption>Darren Yamashita-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Loong-Lions aren’t exactly the best opponents, but the Clippers definitely gave them so much respect in their first preseason contest. They ended up destroying the team based in Guangzhou by 47 points, 142-95, even though no one played in more than 18 minutes (Kawhi Leonard) on Thursday night.</p><p>Leonard led the team in scoring with 18 points on 6-10 shooting (5-8 from three), and he was just one of five players to score in double figures. Joining the Clippers star in the double-digit club on Thursday were Ivica Zubac, Chris Paul, John Collins, Jordan Miller, and Trentyn Flowers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He only managed to play 15 minutes in the second contest against Portugal when the Serbian captain suffered a hamstring injury and limped off.</p><p>Shortly after, the Serbian national team announced that Bogdanovic suffered a ruptured hamstring muscle and, in agreement with the LA Clippers, would return to Los Angeles to begin his rehab process.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bogdan Bogdanović is leaving the Serbian National Team at EuroBasket after being diagnosed with a ruptured hamstring muscle.</p><p>In agreement with the LA Clippers, Serbia’s captain will return to Los Angeles to begin his rehab process.</p><p>The NBA season tips off for the Clippers on… <a href="https://t.co/Qu4fH1wo9J">pic.twitter.com/Qu4fH1wo9J</a></p><p>— Tomer Azarly (@TomerAzarly) <a href="https://twitter.com/TomerAzarly/status/1962206362513068459?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 31, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>For those who follow European sports, nearly all injuries that involve muscle strains are labeled as, “ruptures.” Bogdan Bogdanovic, however, says his wasn’t a complete rupture and is thankful to be back on the court already.</p><p>“I think it wasn’t as big of an issue,” <a href="https://x.com/TomerAzarly/status/1973500497916207344" rel="noopener">Bogdanovic said</a> after the Clippers’ second practice this week. “It scared me at the beginning like everybody else. With a partially ruptured tendon, you never know how partially ruptured it is. It could take anywhere from 4-6 weeks of recovery. I’m in week five so I’m good. I’m feeling where I’m supposed to be. I feel good. I’ve been playing with the guys in limited amounts of minutes because I’ve been trying to run with them, do all the drills, and be able to play as well.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Bogdan Bogdanovic on his hamstring injury suffered at EuroBasket:</p><p>“I think it wasn't as big of an issue.

I’m trying to chase and be better always, but health-wise do I feel confident? Yes, I feel confident.</p><p>“I had this injury before. I know how it’s going to be. It’s a common injury for athletes. They run. Nothing you can do about it, it just happens. It wasn’t like some explosive move or something, it was some overloading or something.”</p><p>Bogdanovic is one of the few players who participates in as many international tournaments as he can when the NBA is not in-season. Led by their captain, many expected Serbia to contend for the gold medal alongside Germany and France.</p><p>Without Bogdanovic, Serbia suffered their first defeat against Alperen Sengun and Turkey in the Group stage and then were eliminated in the Round of 16 by Lauri Markkanen and Finland.</p><p>Entering the EuroBasket competition, Serbia’s Men’s National Basketball Team was the No. 2 ranked team in the world behind the United States of America. Following the tournament, Serbia was surpassed by Germany, which won gold in both the 2025 FIBA EuroBasket and the 2023 FIBA World Cup.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Bogdan-Bogdanovic-dribbing-up-the-court-during-EuroBasket-game-between-Serbia-and-EStonia.jpg"><figcaption>FIBA Media</figcaption></figure><p>“It was really hard for me leave the team, as a captain that’s a really tough decision to make, but I have a really good connection with my national team over there and they understand that there is a season afterwards and they know how it goes. There will not be enough time so they let me go from the tournament.”</p><p>“After the injury, I had a few days and I got back here so we can plan a rehab. We knew it was going to be six weeks and I don’t want to miss any games from the [regular] season. I’m right where I’m supposed to be right now. Unfortunately, I missed the tournament. I wish I came fully ready how I was with the energy and goals that I had. I still think if I stayed there and I was healthy, we’d have a good chance to win the tournament. But it is what it is. It’s over, we got to move forward. I’m here now and I’m fully focused here now.”</p><p>Bogdanovic was acquired from the Clippers at the trade deadline last season in a deal that sent Terance Mann to the Atlanta Hawks. The deal gave the Clippers another scoring and playmaking option alongside James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and Ivica Zubac.</p><p>But Bogdanovic joined the team late in the season, when the Clippers were already in the process of figuring out how to best reincorporate Kawhi Leonard and a fluid backup center situation. Despite the lack of a training camp and low pressure opportunities to familiarize himself with his new teammates, Bogdanovic quickly developed chemistry with guys like James Harden and Ivica Zubac.</p><p>Now, Bogdan Bogdanovic is hopeful that a training camp and good health will make the adjustments for everyone involved seamless.</p><p>“Trades are the toughest parts for sure,” Bogdanovic admitted. “And that was the toughest parts of my career. You work with some people for many years, and I was fortunate to stay in Atlanta for four-and-a-half, almost five years. We built a relationship with some people over there and it’s just hard, but that’s the name of the game. You’ve got to move forward.</p><p>“I was luckily traded here and the people here are so experienced and they really helped me in making the transition as smooth as it can. I already thought about it last year, that I’d hoped I would stay and I would get to have a training camp, full sessions with these guys, and just build the chemistry from zero.”</p><p>In 30 appearances with the Clippers last season, Bogdanovic averaged 11.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game while shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 42.7 percent from three.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As a result, the injury sidelines the team captain for the rest of the tournament. It delivers a massive blow to Serbia and their hopes of making a deep EuroBasket run. In response to the news, tennis superstar Novak Djokovic revealed that he <a href="https://www.hoopshype.com/story/sports/nba/rumors/2025/09/01/novak-djokovic-contacts-bogdan-bogdanovic-following-injury-at-the-eurobasket/85925997007/" rel="noopener">reached out</a> to Bogdanovic shortly after learning about the setback.</p><p>“The moment I read that he was injured, I contacted him immediately,” Djokovic said. “I called him again, and he told me that unfortunately it was a more serious injury. I gave him some suggestions, ways he might be able to speed up his recovery. But it doesn’t seem to be helping this time.”</p><p>Bogdanovic’s injury occurred during Serbia’s group-stage victory against Portugal. He pulled up sharply while driving on a fast break and immediately signaled to the bench. Scans later confirmed a torn hamstring, ruling him out for the remainder of EuroBasket 2025. Before the injury, Bogdanovic was averaging nine points, 3.5 rebounds, and four assists per game, providing Serbia with steady scoring and leadership alongside Nikola Jokic.</p><p>While competing at the US Open, Djokovic stressed the importance of patience and recovery. “I gave some suggestions on how to recover faster, ways to heal quicker,” he said. “But this time, it’s something he’ll need to rest properly from.” His outreach highlights the close ties between Serbia’s top athletes, especially when representing their country on the international stage.</p><p>With Bogdanovic sidelined, Serbia now leans heavily on Nikola Jokic to carry the offense and inspire the locker room. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/eurobasket-news-luka-doncic-nikola-jokic-record-39-point-performances">The three-time NBA MVP has already delivered a 39-point performance</a> against Latvia, and his leadership will be vital as Serbia prepares for a must-win matchup against Czechia.</p><p>Losing Bogdan Bogdanovic reshapes both the strategy and morale of Serbia’s EuroBasket campaign. However, Djokovic’s support serves as a reminder that resilience defines champions, and Serbia remains determined to keep fighting.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Earlier this week, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/denver-nuggets/nuggets-news-nikola-jokic-athleticism-reverse-slam">Jokic was filmed throwing down a two-handed reverse dunk</a> during warmups ahead of one of Serbia’s exhibition games.</p><p>But whether you think Jokic is athletic or not, what is certain is that he’s arguably the best player in the NBA currently. He finished second in the MVP voting this year behind Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and he was selected to his seventh consecutive All-Star appearance.</p><p>Jokic appeared in 70 games for the Nuggets this season at a little over 36 minutes per game. He averaged a career-high 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.8 steals with splits of 57.6 percent shooting from the field, 41.7 percent shooting from the three-point line and 80 percent shooting from the free-throw line. He joined Oscar Robertson and Russell Westbrook as the only three players to average a triple double for an entire season.</p><p>In the playoffs, Jokic averaged 26.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 2.0 steals with splits of 48.9 percent shooting from the field, 38 percent shooting from the three-point line and 77.2 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bogdanovic is also having the best night of his series with 18 points and five assists.</p><p>However, the story of this game has been Murray, who exploded with his best game of the playoffs. He finished with 43 points and seven assists on 17-for-26 shooting to help the Nuggets take control of the series and move within one win of a trip to the second round.</p><p>The Clippers trailed for much of the second half after a third-quarter spurt, fueled by Murray and Christian Braun, helped the Nuggets jump out ahead by a wide margin. However, like they did in Game 4, the Clippers started to claw their way back into the game, cutting the deficit to single digits in the fourth.</p><p>Murray wasn’t having it. He got bucket after bucket down the stretch to help secure the win and send the series back to Los Angeles with the Nuggets on top.</p><p>With one or two games left in this series, there are sure to be more scuffles between two teams that have been very chippy and physical with each other throughout the series. Both sides have feisty players who like to get into it, including Westbrook and Bogdanovic, so it would be no surprise to see more run-ins over the next few games.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Both players had been with the Hawks for some time, but it’s obvious that the team is going in a new direction and looking to what the future holds.</p><p>Some of the Hawks players, old and new, <a href="https://x.com/klchouinard/status/1887920477160587523?s=46" rel="noopener">were asked about the trades</a>, and at the end of the day, the word “brother” rang through the mics.</p><p>“You know, it really sucks. I get that it’s a business, but you meet a lot of great people while playing the game,” Onyeka Okongwu said at Hawks practice via reporter Kevin Couinard. “Basketball is a brotherhood, and I wish him luck. I always root for my guys, him and Bogi.”</p><p>Okongwu and Bogdanovic came to the Hawks in the same season, while he and Hunter have had a close relationship with each other on and off the court. For Daniels, this is his first season with the team, but he still felt the bond that they all had with each other.</p><p>“Obviously, I haven’t been here very long, but I made good connections with both of them,” Daniels said. “They’ll be friends, brothers for life, so I wish them all the best. We’ve got some new guys coming in as well who are really good players, so l’m looking forward to getting to meet them, getting to know them, and yeah, getting to work with them.</p><p>“It’s part of the business. People come in and out all the time, so you just be ready to move forward now and finish the season strong.”</p><p>Now, the Hawks must move on and continue to build what they have on the team currently.</p><h2>Hawks trade away De’Andre Hunter, Bogdan Bogdanovic</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/DeAndre-Hunter-2.jpg"><figcaption>Dale Zanine-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Hawks were busy during the hours before the deadline, trading De’Andre Hunter to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Caris LeVert and Georges Niang. Hunter had been in trade rumors for the past couple of seasons, and with this being arguably the best year of his career, the Hawks made the move while his value was high. In return, the Hawks get a shot creator in LeVert and a serviceable power forward in Niang, who can shoot the three at a high level.</p><p>The Hawks then <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/clippers-news-la-makes-surprising-bogdan-bogdanovic-terance-mann-trade-with-hawks">traded Bogdan Bogdanovic to the Los Angeles Clippers</a> for Terance Mann and Bones Hyland. Bogdanovic had taken a step back this season, and without his consistent shooting, the Hawks found it hard to play him. Mann will be a solid piece for the Hawks, as they have another defender at the guard position. As of now, it doesn’t look like Hyland will be a part of the team’s plans.</p><p>In all, the Hawks were able to get some good rotational players that can help them for the rest of the season, but they had to part ways with a Sixth Man of the Year candidate and one of their better shooters on the team. They were able to get some flexibility for the future, and it will be interesting to see if they use that to make the team better next season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bogdanovic is a shooting guard that is a new member of the Los Angeles <a href="https://caknowledge.com/bogdan-bogdanovic-net-worth/">Clippers following a trade with the Atlanta Hawks</a>. He is a former NBA All-Rookie Second Team player, an Olympic silver-medalist, and a two-time FIBA World Cup silver-medalist. Here is a closer look at Bogdan Bogdanovic’s net worth in 2025.</p><h2><b>What is Bogdan Bogdanovic’s net worth in 2025?: $30 million (estimate)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/bogdan-bogdanovics-net-worth-in-2024-2_.webp"></figure><p>Bogdan Bogdanovic’s net worth in 2025 <a href="https://caknowledge.com/bogdan-bogdanovic-net-worth/" rel="noopener">is $30 million</a>. This is according to multiple outlets, including CAknowledge.</p><p>Bogdan Bogdanovic was born on Aug. 18, 1992, in Belgrade, Serbia. As early as a teenager, Bogdanovic was already playing professional basketball.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic’s early basketball career in Europe with KK Partizan</b></h2><p>As an 18-year-old, Bogdanovic <a href="https://www.b92.net/sport/kosarka/vesti.php?yyyy=2010&amp;mm=09&amp;dd=17&amp;nav_id=459524" rel="noopener">signed</a> his first contract with KK Partizan. However, details of the long-term deal weren’t disclosed. In his first professional season, Bogdanovic averaged 5.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game while shooting 30 percent from the field.</p><p>A season later, Bogdanovic was more adjusted to the professional style of play. He improved his numbers to 14.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists while making 37 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.</p><p>In the ensuing years with KK Partizan, Bogdanovic garnered four Serbian League Championships, two Serbian Cups, two ABA League titles, and 2014 Serbian League Playoffs MVP.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic joins Fenerbahce</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="lv">CHAMPIONSSS!!!!! 🏆😘🏆<br>ŠAMPIONIII!!!!! 🏆😘🏆 <a href="https://t.co/6yCuwiX8sU">pic.twitter.com/6yCuwiX8sU</a></p><p>— Bogdan Bogdanovic (@LeaderOfHorde) <a href="https://twitter.com/LeaderOfHorde/status/866619869155950592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 22, 2017</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In the 2014 NBA Draft, Bogdanovic was selected in the first round with the 27th overall pick by the Phoenix Suns. However, the Serbian standout opted not to join the NBA and decided to join Turkish ball club Fenerbahce. Bogdanovic inked a four-year deal worth EUR 3.5 million or around $3.8 million, as per <a href="https://sportske.net/vest/kosarka/bogdanovic-otisao-na-potpisivanje-ugovora-sa-fenerom-186531" rel="noopener">reports</a>.</p><p>Bogdanovic would go on to play for three seasons for Fenerbahce. In three seasons, Bogdanovic tallied 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.1 dimes per outing.</p><p>Furthermore, Bogdanovic also collected several accolades, including a pair of Turkish Super League championships, Turkish President’s Cup, Turkish Super League Finals MVP, Turkish Cup Final MVP and a Euroleague championship.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic’s NBA career with the Kings</b></h2><p>Although Bogdanovic was drafted by the Phoenix Suns in 2014, the Serbian wing never played for the team. During the 2016 NBA Draft, his rights were traded to the Sacramento Kings. In 2017, Bogdanovic finally made his entry into the NBA after <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2718592-bogdan-bogdanovic-kings-reportedly-agree-on-3-year-36-million-contract" rel="noopener">inking</a> a three-year contract that pays $36 million.</p><p>In his rookie season, Bogdanovic averaged 11.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. For his efforts, Bogdanovic was named to the All-Rookie Second Team.</p><p>For two more seasons, Bogdanovic continued to thrive in the Kings’ rotation as a sparkplug off the bench. In three seasons with the Kings, Bogdanovic knocked down 37 percent of his shots from beyond the arc.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic signs with the Hawks</b></h2><p>Just before the 2020-21 season, although the Kings decided to extend qualifying offer on Bogdanovic, the organization opted not to match the Atlanta Hawks’ offer. As a result, the decorated Euroleague star decided to sign a lucrative four-year contract worth $72 million with the Hawks.</p><p>In his first season with the Hawks, Bogdanovic registered 16.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game, while shooting a career-best 44 percent from downtown. Despite mostly coming off the bench, Bogdanovic has found a way to be productive. For the next two seasons, he tallied 15.1 points and 14.0 points per game for the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, respectively.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic signs contract extension with the Hawks</b></h2><p>After a string of productive seasons with Atlanta, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-bogdan-bogdanovic-inks-68-million-extension" rel="noopener">Bogdanovic signed a contract extension</a>. The well-accomplished Serbian star agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $68 million, according to <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/hawks-bogdan-bogdanovic-agrees-to-four-year-68-million-contract-extension/#:~:text=The%20Atlanta%20Hawks%20and%20Bogdan,the%20start%20of%20next%20season." rel="noopener">reports</a>.</p><p>After that, Bogdanovic played his best NBA season thus far. He averaged 16.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 37 percent from deep.</p><p>In a December 2023 game loss to the Denver Nuggets, Bogdanovic exploded for 40 points, spiked by 10 3-pointers off the bench. According to <a href="https://www.si.com/nba/nuggets/news/unexpected-player-makes-nba-history-in-nuggets-vs-hawks-game" rel="noopener">sources</a>, the Hawks forward is only the second NBA player in history to achieve the feat.</p><p>It hasn’t gone so well in 2024-25, as Bogdanovic is averaging 10.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists as he’s struggled to stay healthy. Despite this, the Clippers sent Terence Mann and Bones Hyland to acquire Bogdanovic just before the 2025 NBA Trade Deadline. The Clippers also are received three second-round draft picks.</p><h2><b>Bogdan Bogdanovic representing Serbia internationally</b></h2><p>Aside from showcasing his wares in the NBA, Bogdanovic is also a fixture in Serbia’s men’s national basketball teams. In fact, he has won silver medals in several tournaments, including the U19 World Championships, 2017 EuroBasket, 2016 Olympic Games, the 2014 FIBA World Cup, and the 2023 FIBA World Cup.</p><p>According to sources, the prize money for national teams participating in the 2023 FIBA World Cup is EUR 50,000 or around $54,500. On the other hand, teams that made it to the Top 16 received an additional EUR 100,000 or around $109,000.</p><p>In the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Bogdanovic helped Serbia advance all the way to the gold-medal game before falling to Germany. During the tournament, the Hawks guard averaged 19.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per outing.</p><p>Nevertheless, were you at all stunned by Bogdan Bogdanovic’s net worth in 2025?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But the team decided to make a move involving recently-signed Terance Mann and Bogdan Bogdanovic of the Atlanta Hawks.</p><p><a href="https://x.com/TomerAzarly/status/1887584496440246413">The Clippers have traded Terance Mann</a> and Bones Hyland to the Hawks in exchange for Bogdan Bogdanovic, a source confirmed to ClutchPoints on Thursday morning. ESPN’s Shams Charania was first to report the trade.</p><p>In addition to Bogdanovic, the Clippers are also receiving three second round picks as part of the deal.</p><p>The deal comes as a bit of a surprise after Terance Mann agreed to a three-year, $47 million contract extension this past summer. But Mann had also been playing the fewest minutes per game this season (19.8 per game) since his second season with the Clippers, where he played 18.9 minutes per game.</p><p>Mann had a career-year in the 2021-22 season, averaging 10.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists for the Clippers, but never received an opportunity to be anything more than a complementary piece on the team. He did start 71 games for the team last season, playing 25 minutes a night, but the opportunities have dwindled this season to the point that Mann was a DNP – Coach’s Decision.</p><p>Per sources, the Hawks had been coveting Terance Mann for quite a while, and with the lack of playing time in Los Angeles, a move made sense for Mann’s career and the Clippers’ future. The Denver Nuggets, per source, were another team that had interest in acquiring Terance Mann, but didn’t have the necessary assets to make a deal work with the Clippers.</p><p>Mann has played all six years of his NBA career with the Clippers, averaging 8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.9 assists on 49.8 percent shooting from the field and 37.1 percent from three.</p><p>Bogdan Bogdanovic is a proven scorer in the NBA, and he’s done most of it as a reserve. After making 52 starts in his rookie season in 2017-18, Bogdanovic has come off the bench for 254 of his last 395 games. The former Sacramento Kings and Atlanta Hawks guard has career-averages of 14.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.0 steal per game while shooting 43.5 percent from the field and 38 percent from three.</p><p>Bones Hyland was expected to have a role on this Clippers team when he was traded here back in February 2023, but the acquisition of Russell Westbrook completely took a spot away from him. And the subsequent addition of James Harden made it nearly impossible for Hyland to play consistent minutes with thie Clippers.</p><p>While Bones Hyland was always a professional in the locker room and a fun presence to be around, it’s no secret that his team was hoping to see a move that would give the guard an opportunity to showcase his talents. was expected to be shipped out as part of this trade deadline.</p><p>At 24 years of age, Hyland still has some great years of basketball left in him, and a big part of succeeding in the NBA comes down to something as simple as opportunity.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He looks forward to continuing his reporting for ClutchPoints after entering the rumor foray over the last couple years.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Atlanta Hawks</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-dangelo-russell-free-after-lakers-trade">trading D’Angelo Russell to the Brooklyn Nets for Dorian Finney-Smith</a>, the Los Angeles Lakers have struggled to score anywhere near the rate they were with Russell on the roster. With the NBA trade deadline looming, Rob Pelinka is looking to address that issue and, according to sources with knowledge of the situation speaking on the condition of anonymity, the Lakers and Atlanta Hawks are in talks that would <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sources-suns-hawks-bogdan-bogdanovic-jusuf-nurkic-nba-trade-deadline">send trade target Bogdan Bogdanovic</a> to Los Angeles.</p><p>In such a deal, it’s believed Gabe Vincent and Jalen Hood-Schifino would be going to Atlanta. The Lakers would also have to send out one more veteran minimum salary to make the contracts work, though at this time, that player could either be going to Atlanta or elsewhere as part of a bigger trade.</p><p>So, let’s take a look at the pros, the cons, and the likelihood that the Lakers pull the trigger.</p><h2><b>The pros</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Bogdan-Bogdanovic-2.jpg"><figcaption>Brett Davis-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Theoretically, this would be a buy-low opportunity to bring in another ball-handler who spaces the floor. Bogdan Bogdanovic is much better offensively than Vincent and would help stabilize a second unit that has been floundering in Russell’s absence.</p><p>Bogdanovic can also play alongside Reaves if the Lakers also have, say, Jarred Vanderbilt, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Anthony Davis on the court to make up for the defensive concerns.</p><p>So, in terms of the Lakers’ priorities for a ball handler brought in over the next week, Bogdanovic checks the very important boxes of fitting alongside all three of Reaves, LeBron James, and Anthony Davis. Bogdanovic isn’t the defender Vincent is, but he’s a little longer and the Lakers believe they have enough defense to make up for any step back in this regard.</p><p>Bogdanovic also technically only has next year left on his contract at $16 million, then has a team option for 2026-27 for the same price as next season. So, if the Lakers do trade for Bogdanovic, they’d essentially be turning Vincent and Hood-Schifino into a larger expiring contract for this summer and next season.</p><h2><b>The cons</b></h2><p>Everything written in the pros is very much theoretical this season. Frankly, Bogdanovic has had a brutal campaign so far. He’s never been able to get healthy after playing in the Olympics over the summer. He’s shooting <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/bogdabo01.html" rel="noopener">career lows across the board</a>, scoring 10 points per game at 37.1% from the field and 30.1% from deep. He’s also turning the ball over 1.5 times per game despite playing a career-low 24.9 minutes per night.</p><p>So, if that’s the offense you’re getting, and you know he isn’t good enough defensively to make up for the lack of production on the other end, there’s tremendous risk that the Lakers would just be buying low on a player hitting the downswing of his career.</p><p>Bogdanovic is 32 years old, too, which means he wouldn’t figure into the team’s plans beyond James’ tenure.</p><p>For the price of Gabe and JHS, the risk is somewhat mitigated in that neither factor into the Lakers’ plans, either, but if this deal is eventually finalized, the Lakers would be wise to land another guard in the buyout market just to help in case this is just who Bogdanovic is at this point.</p><h2><b>The likelihood</b></h2><p>A couple of years ago, the Lakers and Hawks were in talks about a trade that would’ve sent Kyle Kuzma to Atlanta for Bogdanovic. Ever since, Bogi has remained on the Lakers’ radar. There is quite a bit of smoke swirling around these talks now, though it remains unclear whether this would be a straight-up swap between the two teams or if it would be part of a larger deal.</p><p>One other thing the Lakers could consider is expanding this deal and including Rui Hachimura in the hopes of landing Clint Capela, who, sources say, LA has also asked Atlanta about in their search for a center upgrade.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/are-bucks-serious-jimmy-butler-trade-deadline-suitor-siegels-scoop">spotlight in Phoenix has been cast on Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler</a> for weeks, a new twist in the Suns’ trade plans involves center Jusuf Nurkic. More specifically, Atlanta Hawks sharpshooter Bogdan Bogdanovic has emerged as a target for the Suns ahead of the trade deadline, league sources told ClutchPoints.</p><p>Owner Mat Ishbia and general manager James Jones have been aggressively searching the market for key upgrades to improve their championship outlook. The goal is to surround Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal with as many win-now pieces as possible, which is why the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/suns-news-trade-2031-draft-pick-jazz-3-firsts">Phoenix struck a deal with the Utah Jazz recently</a>, trading away their 2031 first-round pick for three additional first-round picks in 2025, 2027, and 2029.</p><p>In doing so, the Suns opened up the ability to utilize each of the next several drafts, possibly even attaching draft capital to Nurkic’s contract in a trade this season. Phoenix has been actively <a href="https://hoopshype.com/lists/nba-intel-jimmy-butler-bradley-beal-jusuf-nurkic-trade-talks-pistons-raptors-nuggets-clippers-knicks/" rel="noopener">exploring options to move Nurkic</a> with one of these newly acquired first-round picks, something Michael Scotto of HoopsHype was first to report on Tuesday.</p><h2><b>What’s up with Bogdan Bogdanovic this season?</b></h2><p>Bogdanovic, 32, has long been a respected veteran in the league and has made his mark as a valuable three-point shooter.</p><p>After beginning his NBA career with the Sacramento Kings, Bogdanovic has spent each of the last four seasons with the Hawks, averaging 15.7 points per game and shooting 39.1 percent from three-point range. This season, Bogdanovic is averaging just 10.0 points per game and shooting 30.1 percent from distance, both being career lows for the Serbian guard.</p><p>Injuries have contributed to Bogdanovic’s struggles this year. Aside from suffering a hamstring injury that forced him to miss a chunk of games at the very start of the season, the veteran shooting guard has since been dealing with ongoing knee issues. He is in the second season of a four-year, $68 million contract and is guaranteed $16 million for the 2025-26 season before owning a team option worth $16 million for the 2026-27 season.</p><p>The Suns have a clear need for more off-ball talents, specifically shooting threats outside of Grayson Allen on the perimeter. This is one of the main reasons why Bogdanovic is viewed as a potential buy-low option for Phoenix, sources said.</p><h2><b>Hawks’ trade strategy</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Bogdan-Bogdanovic.jpg"><figcaption>Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>As for the Hawks, their strategy for the remainder of the 2024-25 season has shifted with recent news of emerging star <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/hawks-news-jalen-johnson-to-miss-rest-of-season-with-shoulder-injury">Jalen Johnson suffering a season-ending labrum tear</a> in his left shoulder. With Johnson out and the team owning a 22-25 record, Atlanta is prepared to remain below the tax line and become soft sellers at the NBA trade deadline to acquire draft assets.</p><p>Along with making Bogdanovic available, veteran center Clint Capela is another player the Hawks want to field offers for, sources said. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sources-clint-capela-trade-rumors-lakers-knicks">Capela has been made available in Atlanta</a> since last season’s trade deadline. At this time, he has generated very little interest thanks to making $22.2 million in the final year of his contract with about $2 million in built-in incentives.</p><p>The Hawks have decided not to play Bogdanovic over their last two games, and he is now listed as “not with team” and out on their injury report. Capela will miss his second straight game on Thursday night against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to what is being labeled as back spasms. A decision to elevate Onyeka Okongwu into the starting lineup over Capela has only sparked even more trade speculation surrounding the veteran big man in Atlanta.</p><h2><b>A possible third team involved? </b></h2><p>Whether or not the Suns and Hawks can find common ground on a deal that would send Bogdanovic to Phoenix revolves around where Nurkic could potentially end up. It isn’t expected that the Hawks would be taking on Nurkic’s contract, which would make this scenario involve at least one more team.</p><p>The Washington Wizards, Charlotte Hornets, Detroit Pistons, and Toronto Raptors are all organizations that have signaled to rival teams that they are willing to take on contracts for draft capital at the trade deadline.</p><p>The Suns, who are currently 24-22 this season, are scheduled to play four road games before the NBA trade deadline, starting with the Golden State Warriors on Friday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
