Bojan Bogdanovic has yet to take the floor after joining the team this summer as part of the blockbuster Mikal Bridges trade. The 11-year veteran has not practiced fully with the team after undergoing foot and wrist surgery at the end of April.</p><p>Bogdanovic has been running through on-court workouts with Brooklyn’s coaching staff. However, the team <a href="https://x.com/erikslater_/status/1856840770978025558" rel="noopener">has not provided a timetable</a> for his return.</p><p>“He’s progressing well. We’re not gonna give an exact date, but he’s doing good,” said head coach Jordi Fernandez. “He’s in good spirits, he had a good week, he was with us on the road. Having him around is very important because he’s a veteran and he’ll talk in huddles, he gives the guys all these tips on what to do during the games and his involvement is very important. To me, that means that he’s working, he’s cares, and whenever he’s physically ready he’ll be good for us.</p><p>“I’m very happy to have him around. I’ve known him since he was a little kid. He played for Real Madrid, then he came to the NBA and obviously has been an NBA player since. I’m very excited to get to coach him.”</p><p>While Fernandez is excited to welcome Bogdanovic to the fold, there are questions about whether the 35-year-old will have a role with the Nets in 2024-25.</p><h2>Will Bojan Bogdanovic play for the Nets this season?</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Bojan-Bogdanovic.jpg"><figcaption>Stephen Lew-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Nets have a logjam on the wing early this season. Veterans Cam Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith have played feature roles, with young prospects Jalen Wilson, Ziaire Williams and Noah Clowney behind them. All five players <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-unlikely-net-emerging-as-top-steal-nba-offseason">have performed well</a>, making it unclear who Bogdanovic would take minutes from.</p><p>While Fernandez notes the value of Bogdanovic’s veteran presence, the forward doesn’t fit Brooklyn’s timeline in year one of a rebuild. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-cam-johnson-ramping-up-for-league-wide-audition-first-half-season">Nets are expected to field offers</a> for Johnson, Finney-Smith and Dennis Schroder before the trade deadline. Bogdanovic could enter that equation if he can get on the floor and produce.</p><p>However, Bogdanovic is in the final year of his contract at $19 million, meaning teams would need to include a sizable salary to match his in a deal. With no return date in sight nearly a month into the season, it could be difficult for the Nets to find a trade partner.</p><p>These factors make a buyout a logical option for both sides. Bogdanovic could join a contender in one of his final seasons, while the Nets could save money on his salary. After averaging 15.2 points per game on 45/40/79 shooting splits in 2023-24, the Croatian should generate interest from numerous contenders looking to add a cheap scoring punch to their bench.</p><p>Bogdanovic’s future should gain clarity soon, with the Nets expected to provide an update on his progress in the next month.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They are coming off of a fairly successful season. But New York can’t be satisfied with consecutive <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/what-went-wrong-knicks-nba-playoffs">playoff eliminations</a>. Sure, the Eastern Conference Semifinals are great, but it’s been 51 years (and counting) since the Knicks won a championship. They are beyond overdue, but they are closer than they’ve been in a long time. There’s been considerable noise around the idea of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-knicks-julius-randle-trade-approach-amid-star-watch">adding another star</a>. Fortunately, the Knicks have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-draft-pick-stash-points-promising-future">sufficient assets</a> and tradable contracts to do so. But it likely includes Bojan Bogdanovic and Miles McBride, too.</p><h2><b>Bojan Bogdanovic could be on the move</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Bojan-Bogdanovic-drives-against-the-Miami-Heat.jpg"><figcaption>Sam Navarro-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p><a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news/detroit-pistons-send-bojan-bogdanovic-alec-burks-to-knicks-in-trade-deadline-swap/" rel="noopener">The trade deadline deal</a> that added Bogdanovic and Alec Burks was done for two reasons. The Knicks definitely wanted to add a playmaker who could elevate the Knicks when Jalen Brunson sat. Sadly, Bogdanovic was <i>just</i> figuring out how to impact that game in limited minutes before suffering a foot injury in Game 4 of the first round of the playoffs. Remember, Bogdanovic regularly played 30 or more minutes per game between 2017-18 until he was traded to New York in February. That’s an understandably difficult adjustment.</p><p>While Bogdanovic brought utility for the 2024 playoff push, the Knicks also added him for his $19 million contract. Bogdanovic’s contract expires after the 2024-25 season, making it all-the-more attractive in a trade. <i>And</i> it’s only guaranteed for $2 million, meaning New York can technically waive Bogdanovic with limited financial liability.</p><p>But Bogdanovic’s utility is less clear entering next season. He is 35 years-old and coming off of two injuries   (wrist and foot) that required surgery. Sure, his contract is more desirable to a rebuilding team than is a longer-term deal, but it’s probably not enough to entice a team into giving up a star. And that leads us to McBride.</p><h2>Miles McBride might be a victim of his own success</h2><p>Unfortunately, McBride might have played himself out of New York. McBride bounced between the Knicks’ G-League affiliate and its main roster for much of his first two seasons. He was obviously a bigger part of the Knicks’ plans in 2023-24; however, when Immanuel Quickley was sent to Toronto as part of the OG Anunoby deal, McBride received an even bigger opportunity. And he capitalized.</p><p>All of a sudden, McBride looked like a seasoned veteran. After averaging just 2 points per game through the first 17 games of the year averaged, McBride scored 8.3 points per game in January, 9.8 in February, and 13.9 in March. And he (mostly) kept it rolling in the playoffs, reaching double figures in seven of the Knicks’ 13 playoff games.</p><p>But it’s not only McBride’s production that makes him attractive to competing teams. The 23 year-old just signed a three-year/$13 million deal that will play him $4.7 million next year. So, he’s locked into an affordable and descending deal. And there are very few guys in the league who can produce like McBride on similarly affordable deals.</p><h2>Addition by subtraction (of McBride)</h2><p>So, the idea that McBride is in demand is well established. Trading away your only backup point guard is rarely wise; but here’s the thing, a backup point guard is only needed for about 13 minutes per game. Jalen Brunson averaged 35.4 minutes per game in 2023-24. So, keeping McBride strictly to back up Brunson could prove counter-productive.</p><p>But there is a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/biggest-need-knicks-address-2024-nba-offseason">need for another playmaker</a>. And packaging McBride with Bogdanovic <i>could</i> entice some teams into a deal. Granted, we’re talking about only teams that underperformed expectations last season <i>and</i> are open to a rebuild. The salaries of Bogdanovic and McBride add up to $24 million. That’s nearly as much as Dejounte Murray. Or Anfernee Simons. Or Mikal Bridges. Those are all major upgrades.</p><p>Sure, New York would have to include draft picks, too. In fact, any of the aforementioned players would require multiple draft picks. But the inclusion of McBride could make the difference in a deal.</p><p>The Atlanta Hawks, Portland Trail Blazers, and Brooklyn Nets are all somewhere in the rebuilding process. No one knows what any of their thoughts are on this type of deal. But youthful, impactful, and affordable players are the name of the game for rebuilding teams (along with draft picks). So, including McBride could move the needle on a deal. And if adding someone like Murray or Bridges costs the Knicks McBride, so be it.</p><p>Will a deal like the one mentioned above come to fruition? We’ll have to wait and see. But it looks increasingly likely, as the only other option to add another star<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/what-knicks-must-do-with-julius-randle-this-offseason"> is trading Julius Randle</a>. And at the end of the day, who is more impactful to winning, Randle or McBride?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With the offseason about to get underway,</p><p>The Knicks announced that the surgeries for both Brunson (<a href="https://x.com/NY_KnicksPR/status/1793265584488013855" rel="noopener">on his left hand</a>) and Bogdanovic (<a href="https://x.com/NY_KnicksPR/status/1793266077645897828" rel="noopener">on his left wrist</a>) were successful and that they will both be re-evaluated in six to eight weeks.</p><p>Both Brunson and Bogdanovic dealt with multiple injuries during the playoffs. The former dealt with soreness to his right foot that cost him his quickness in several games while the latter dealt with an ankle contusion that ultimately ended his season. With New York eliminated, both players (and the rest of their injured teammates) now have plenty of time to recover and get right for the 2024-25 campaign.</p><h2><b>Jalen Brunson, Bojan Bogdanovic undergo successful surgeries</b></h2><p>The Knicks came into the playoffs without Julius Randle due to a season-ending shoulder injury. In the first round against the Philadelphia 76ers, Mitchell Robinson reinjured his left ankle, which cost him 50 consecutive games during the regular season, and Bogdanovic turned his own left ankle as he and 76ers forward Nico Batum fought for a loose ball. OG Anunoby hurt his left hamstring, Josh Hart suffered an abdominal strain and Brunson hurt his hand in the second round.</p><p>Although New York’s momentum was derailed heavily by injuries, getting to the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time in over a decade shows legitimate progress. Brunson led the way for one of the deepest teams in the league. Bogdanovic was a key part of that depth.</p><p>Brunson made his first All-Star team in the 2023-24 season and was one of the most prolific scorers in the playoffs, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-jalen-brunson-closing-in-on-michael-jordan-record-amid-insane-scoring-streak">approaching wild records</a> as he got bucket after bucket. He finished fifth in MVP voting and is eligible for an extension this summer.</p><p>Bogdanovic was traded by the Detroit Pistons to New York at the trade deadline, along with Alec Burks, in exchange for Quentin Grimes, Evan Fournier, Malachi Flynn and Ryan Arcidiacono. He provided great three-point shooting at various times for the Knicks.</p><p>The focus now for the Knicks is retaining free agents Anunoby, who suffered and tried to come back from a hamstring strain during the second round, and Isaiah Hartenstein. New York certainly hopes to retain both starters and come back stronger next season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Bogdanovic has been a key member <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-josh-hart-drops-hilarious-shaq-truth-bomb-jalen-brunsons-47-point-masterclass">of the Knicks’ rotation</a> off the bench so far in these playoffs. They were able to win Game 4 without him playing very much in large part due to Jalen Brunson’s 47 points, which was a Knicks franchise record for most in a playoff game.</p><p>The Knicks acquired Bogdanovic in a trade with the Detroit Pistons ahead of the NBA Trade deadline. It did not bring immediate results, as Alec Burks came to New York in the trade with the Pistons as well. Burks has fallen out of the rotation with the play of Miles McBride, and Bogdanovic struggled a bit to find his spot in the rotation and overall lineup. Still, he has provided some solid minutes for the Knicks in this series against the 76ers, playing a significant part in the Knicks winning games one and two while Brunson struggled from a shooting standpoint.</p><p>It will be interesting to see if Tom Thibodeau inserts someone else into the rotation for Game 5, or if he just goes with the same players he has usually used in this series, minus Bogdanovic.</p><p>This is not the only player who is dealing with an injury for the Knicks, as Mitchell Robinson is dealing with an ankle injury that he suffered in Game 3 that caused him to miss Game 4. Mitchell Robinson gave it a go in warmups before Game 4, but ultimately did not play. It will be worth monitoring reports on Robinson’s status as Game 5 approaches on Tuesday.</p><h2><b>Jalen Brunson trying to take Knicks to second round</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Jalen-Brunson-in-a-Knicks-uniform-2.jpg"><figcaption>© Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>In games one and two of the series, Brunson did not shoot very well, as mentioned above. The Knicks were able to get performances out of supporting players like Josh Hart that helped them win the first two games. In Game 3, Brunson performed better, but Joel Embiid’s 50 points led the 76ers to a win.</p><p>Brunson’s 47-point performance helped the Knicks win a crucial Game 4, which gives them a chance to close out the series with a win at home in Game 5. This is while Bogdanovic missed a lot of the game, and Robinson did not play as well. Not to mention that Julius Randle is out for these playoffs as well.</p><p>In Game 4, Brunson and OG Anunoby’s performances were the most notable.

However, Bojan Bogdanovic, who is a key role player for New York, left the game early with an injury while reportedly playing through a completely different issue.</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/MikeAScotto/status/1784595013952733607" rel="noopener">Reports indicate that</a> Bogdanovic has “ligament damage in his left wrist,” according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype. But the Knicks forward is able to play through the injury as long as New York is competing in the playoffs.</p><p>“New York Knicks forward Bojan Bogdanovic underwent an MRI, which showed ligament damage in his left wrist, league sources told HoopsHype. Bogdanovic will play through the wrist injury for the rest of the NBA playoffs and surgery will be a potential option during the offseason.”</p><p>That doesn’t sound great for Bojan Bogdanovic but at least he’s able to play through the injury. The fact the injury was sustained on his left wrist is a silver lining as it shouldn’t effect his jumper too much. Regardless, the Knicks will keep close tabs on the veteran forward to make sure he doesn’t further damage his wrist.</p><p>But unfortunately, during the second quarter of Game 4, Bojan Bogdanovic <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1784640506535748091" rel="noopener">had to exit early</a> after Nicolas Batum accidentally fell on his ankle. It didn’t look good but the Knicks forward was able to limp off the court with some assistance.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Knicks’ Bojan Bogdanovic is headed to the locker room after Nic Batum dove into his ankle after trying for a loose ball.</p><p>Hope he’s alright 🙏<a href="https://t.co/hA9bEYh2vC">pic.twitter.com/hA9bEYh2vC</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPoints/status/1784640506535748091?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 28, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>It’s not looking good for Bojan Bogdanovic though, as he was <a href="https://twitter.com/CassidyHubbarth/status/1784652882756739501" rel="noopener">eventually ruled out</a> for the remainder of the game, per Cassidy Hubbarth of ESPN. The Knicks will be without their veteran forward and it’s not clear if he’ll be ready to go for Game 5.</p><p>“UPDATE: Bojan Bogdanovic (left ankle contusion) is out for the remainder of the game.”</p><p>The franchise traded for Bojan Bogdanovic right before the deadline and he’s been a nice addition to the team. He brings consistent three-point shooting and he’s not terrible on the defense end. Bogdanovic brings much needed depth for a potential championship run. So, hopefully he can stay as healthy as possible moving forward.</p><h2>How the Knicks can beat the 76ers in the NBA Playoffs</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Jalen-Brunson-scoring-on-the-76ers.jpg"><figcaption>Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>New York has been one of the best teams in the league this season <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/76ers-news-kelly-oubre-jr-claps-back-joel-embiid-dirty-label-after-game-3-flagrant-foul">as the Knicks</a> aim to win its first championship since 1973. The fanbase is hungry for a title and this year’s team has the potential of pulling through. Facing the 76ers in the opening round isn’t ideal as Philly is a much better team than most seven seeds.</p><p>So, if the Knicks want to beat the 76ers they have to lockdown Joel Embiid. That’s much easier said than done, as Embiid is one of the best players in the world. Additionally, Tyrese Maxey has been electric from the perimeter. Defense is going to play a large role in taking down Philly and New York has the right kind of players to slow them down.</p><p>Offensively, the Knicks are going to lean on Jalen Brunson. He’s been an absolute monster ever since the front office signed him in free agency in the 2022 offseason. As long as he’s on the court New York will have a fighting chance as he’s emerged as one of the best point guards in the league. Look for Brunson to continue balling out throughout the postseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But in the aftermath of their 124-99 win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday night, New York may be forced to deal with yet another injury blow after Bojan Bogdanovic appeared to pick up a knock after playing in just 18 minutes.</p><p>However, there is no clarity quite yet on the Bogdanovic injury front. Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau even dropped a cryptic update on the nature of the injury the veteran sharpshooter picked up, with Thibodeau <a href="https://twitter.com/FredKatz/status/1772448279206219855">being intentionally vague</a> with his responses.</p><p>According to Fred Katz of The Athletic, “Tom Thibodeau said Bojan Bogdanovic got ‘nicked up’ tonight. Asked what happened, Thibodeau said Bogdanovic had ‘soreness.’ And asked where Bogdanovic was sore, Thibodeau said ‘soreness.'”</p><p>At the very least, Knicks fans could take comfort in knowing that Bogdanovic didn’t sustain any major injury. Given where we are in the regular season, some sort of “soreness” is to be expected from every player who has logged meaningful minutes. Nonetheless, the Knicks would still want to monitor the situation closely, as New York would prefer to go into the playoffs at full strength.</p><h2><b>Bojan Bogdanovic, a Big Apple disappointment</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Knicks-forward-Bojan-Bogdanovic-44-dribbles-past-Golden-State-Warriors-guard-Chris-Paul-3.jpg"></figure><p>Many believed that the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-knicks-pistons-trade-deadline-blockbuster-bojan-bogdanovic-alec-burks">Knicks got the steal</a> of the trade deadline when they acquired Bojan Bogdanovic and old friend Alec Burks in exchange for Quentin Grimes, two second-round picks, and salary filler. The Pistons were demanding a first-round pick for Bogdanovic not too long ago, so for the Knicks to get him, as well as a player familiar with Tom Thibodeau’s system, for this price is a major win.</p><p>However, Bogdanovic hasn’t quite been as impactful as expected; he hasn’t jelled as well with Thibodeau and the Knicks’ system, and as a result, he hasn’t earned the trust of the coaching staff. The Croatian marksman has averaged just 20.8 minutes since his move to New York (18 games) while <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=bojan+bogdanovic+knicks+3pt%25+until+march+25+2024">shooting career-lows</a> of 39.2 percent from the field and 34.1 percent from beyond the arc.</p><p>With a few of the Knicks’ key guys injured, Bojan Bogdanovic could have earned himself a bigger role in the rotation had he performed up to par. It’s not too late for Bogdanovic to earn his keep in the Big Apple, of course, but his bout with general soreness won’t help matters at all in that regard.</p><h2><b>Just how injury-ravaged are the Knicks?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Knicks-forward-OG-Anunoby-8-celebrates-with-forward-Julius-Randle-30.jpg"></figure><p>The Knicks have been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/four-knicks-unsung-heroes-major-catalyst-team-success">hit hard by injuries</a> this season, and as it stands, they are missing three key rotation guys in Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, and Mitchell Robinson. Randle doesn’t appear to be close to a return, as he hasn’t progressed beyond light contact work yet, and with just over 20 or so days to go before the playoffs begin, there is a chance that the Knicks hold him out of action until then in preparation for a deep postseason run.</p><p>Meanwhile, OG Anunoby remains day-to-day with an elbow injury that clearly hampered his shooting performance in his last game out. Anunoby has turned the Knicks into a two-way juggernaut, so his health will be of utmost importance moving forward. The 26-year old wing has missed 21 games so far since his trade to New York, and he might be on track to miss a few more games.</p><p>At the very least, Mitchell Robinson is nearing a return now that he has taken part in full practice.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Let’s take a closer look at Bojan Bogdanovic’s net worth in 2024.</p><h2><b>What is Bojan Bogdanovic’s net worth in 2024?: $30 million (estimate)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Bojan-Bogdanovics-net-worth-in-2024-2.jpg"></figure><p><a href="https://caknowledge.com/bojan-bogdanovic-net-worth/" rel="noopener">Bojan Bogdanovic’s net worth</a> in 2024 is $30 million. This is according to numerous outlets such as CAKnowledge.</p><p>Bojan Bogdanovic was born on April 18, 1989, in Mostar, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina. As early as his teenage days, Bogdanovic already embarked on a professional basketball career.</p><h2><b>Bojan Bogdanovic’s early basketball career in Europe</b></h2><p>In 2005, Bogdanovic signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid, based on <a href="https://www.nba.com/player/202711/bojan-bogdanovic/rotowire" rel="noopener">reports</a>. This allowed him to play for Real Madrid’s junior and senior teams. Moreover, Real Madrid once loaned him to play for Croatian professional club Zrinjski Mostar and Spanish basketball team CB Murcia.</p><p>In 2009, Bogdanovic signed a four-year contract with Cibona Zagreb. With Cibona Zagreb, Bogdanovic averaged 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game while shooting 39 percent on 3-point attempts. He was part of the squad that won the Croatian League Championship and the Croatian Cup.</p><p>Afterwards, Cibona rewarded Bogdanovic with a three-year contract extension, according to <a href="https://www.osdbsports.com/nba/players/bojan-bogdanovic/7ff02e19-e829-4e56-9a34-233a71fce76c" rel="noopener">sources</a>. After that, Bogdanovic improved his numbers to 18.0 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game. With a stellar individual effort, Bogdanovic made the All-Croatian League First Team.</p><p>Following his stint with Cibona Zagreb, Bogdanovic was drafted in the 2011 NBA Draft with the 31st overall pick by the Miami Heat. However, he opted to join European powerhouse Fenerbahçe Ülker by inking a long-term deal. Bogdanovic helped the team win the TBSL championship, Turkish Supercup, and the Turkish Cup.</p><h2><b>Bojan Bogdanovic signs with the Nets</b></h2><p>After being drafted in the 2011 NBA Draft, Bogdanovic finally made it to the NBA by signing a three-year contract worth $10.1 million, based on <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/bojan-bogdanovic-finally-officially-signs-with-nets/" rel="noopener">reports</a>. In his rookie season, Bogdanovic showed signs of still adapting to the NBA style of play.</p><p>He only averaged 9.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per outing while shooting 36 percent from beyond the arc. However, Bogdanovic still managed to do enough to be named to the All-Rookie Second Team.</p><p>A season later, Bogdanovic was able to become more acclimated in the NBA. The Croatian standout improved his numbers to 11.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game.</p><p>Bogdanovic played for the Nets until the 2016-17 season. Midway through the season, the Nets traded Bogdanovic to the Washington Wizards. Bogdanovic registered 12.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.8 assists per game for the Wizards.</p><h2><b>Bojan Bogdanovic signs with the Pacers</b></h2><p>After Bogdanovic’s contract expired, the Croatian forward became a free agent in the 2017 offseason. As a free agent, Bogdanovic decided to join the Indiana Pacers after signing a two-year contract worth $21 million, based on <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/2017/7/7/15938844/bojan-bogdanovic-indiana-pacers-deal-nba-free-agency-2017" rel="noopener">reports</a>.</p><p>In two seasons with the Pacers, Bogdanovic averaged 16.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per outing while shooting a 41-percent clip from beyond the arc.</p><h2><b>Bojan Bogdanovic signs with the Jazz</b></h2><p>With a productive two-season stint with the Pacers, Bogdanovic <a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nba/pacers/2019/07/11/bojan-bogdanovic-explains-why-he-left-indiana-pacers-utah-jazz-2019-nba-free-agency/1703286001/" rel="noopener">initially</a> wanted to rejoin the team after his contract expired. However, the Utah Jazz offered the Croatian swingman a contract he couldn’t resist.</p><p>As a result, the 6-foot-7 deadeye shooter agreed to a four-year contract worth $73 million. The deal easily made Bogdanovic the highest-paid Croatian athlete, according to <a href="https://sportske.jutarnji.hr/sn/kosarka/sve-je-to-divno-i-krasno-ali-te-price-me-umaraju-najplaceniji-hrvat-u-povijesti-koji-zaraduje-oko-120-milijuna-kuna-godisnje-progovorio-o-placi-9104306" rel="noopener">reports</a>.</p><p>After joining the Jazz, Bogdanovic helped the team become a consistent playoff fixture for three-consecutive seasons. In the 2019-20 season, Bogdanovic also averaged a then career-high 20.2 points per game to go along with 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists.</p><h2><b>Bojan Bogdanovic is traded to the Pistons</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Pistons Nation, let's us all welcome our newest guy to the team, Bojan Bogdanovic! 🔥 <a href="https://t.co/VDIaUyzdLJ">pic.twitter.com/VDIaUyzdLJ</a></p><p>— Pistons Nation (@PistonsNationCP) <a href="https://twitter.com/PistonsNationCP/status/1572951230523281409?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Establishing himself as a reliable floor spacer, Bogdanovic found himself on the move once again just before the 2022-23 season. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-detroit-acquiring-bojan-bogdanovic-from-jazz">Jazz traded Bogdanovic</a> to the Detroit Pistons in a deal that also involved Kelly Olynyk. Later on, the Croatian star signed a contract extension with the Pistons on a lucrative two-year deal worth $39.1 million, based on a <a href="https://www.espn.ph/nba/story/_/id/34912353/bojan-bogdanovic-pistons-reach-2-year-391-million-extension" rel="noopener">report</a> by ESPN.</p><p>During the 2022-23 season, Bogdanovic immediately made his presence felt in a Pistons uniform. He averaged a career-best 21.6 points per game to go along with 3.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per outing to become one of the bright spots for a lowly 17-65 squad.</p><p>Bogdanovic continued his excellent play for the struggling Pistons in 2023-24 until the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-bojan-bogdanovic-alec-burks-pistons-trade-deadline-deal">Pistons decided to trade Bogdanovic</a> along with Alec Burks to the New York Knicks for  Ryan Arcidiacono, Malachi Flynn, Evan Fournier and Quentin Grimes February 2024. Bogdanovic has found himself in a bench role and seen his scoring cut in half, but he’s on a team gearing up for the playoffs.</p><h2><b>Bojan Bogdanovic’s endorsement deals</b></h2><p>Given that Bogdanovic is arguably the best basketball player out of Croatia, it isn’t surprising that some brands have decided to partner up with him. According to <a href="https://www.osdbsports.com/nba/players/bojan-bogdanovic/endorsements/7ff02e19-e829-4e56-9a34-233a71fce76c">sources</a>, Bogdanovic has endorsement deals with brands such as Vivint Smart Home and Adidas.</p><p>Nevertheless, were you at all stunned by Bojan Bogdanovic’s net worth in 2024?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Against the Orlando Magic last Wednesday, the Knicks didn’t have Julius Randle, OG Anunoby, Donte DiVincenzo, Isaiah Hartenstein, or Bojan Bogdanovic. On Thursday night against the Philadelphia 76ers in their first game since the All-Star Game, it appears as if New York will be getting a massive chunk of their core back on the floor next to Jalen Brunson.</p><p>DiVincenzo, who has been seeing heavy minutes in the wake of Randle’s shoulder injury, didn’t play against the Magic due to a hamstring injury. The good news is that the 27-year-old swingman is no longer on the <a href="https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/referee/injury/Injury-Report_2024-02-22_11AM.pdf" rel="noopener">injury report</a> and will be available for Thursday’s game. As for Bogdanovic and Hartenstein, they too seem to be trending towards playing, both being listed as probable. Bogdanovic also missed last week’s game before the All-Star break due to a calf injury, and Hartenstein has missed three straight games with an Achilles injury.</p><p>Although Randle and Anunoby remain sidelined for the Knicks, DiVincenzo’s return is essential. Over his last eight games, DiVincenzo has averaged 26.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game while shooting 39.6 percent from the floor. The former first-round pick has made at least four triples in eight of his last ten games.</p><p>Bogdanovic was one of the notable names on the move at the trade deadline, and a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/how-knicks-newfound-bojan-bogdanovic-alec-burks-depth-can-mask-recent-struggles" rel="noopener">big acquisition for the Knicks</a>. Known for his shooting abilities and scoring production on the wing, Bogdanovic has scored at least 11 points in each of his first two games with New York while shooting 43.5 percent from the floor.</p><p>Hartenstein has stepped up into a much larger role for the vast majority of the season due to starting center Mitchell Robinson suffering an ankle injury. The big man has recorded 10 or more rebounds in 11 of his last 17 games, including a 12-point, 20-rebound performance against the Chicago Bulls last month.</p><p>As things currently stand, the Knicks find themselves 33-22 coming out of the All-Star break, just a half-game ahead of the 76ers for the 4-seed in the Eastern Conference standings. Already defeating the Sixers 128-92 in Philadelphia earlier this season, the Knicks can inch closer to owning the season tiebreaker over their rivals with a win on Thursday night.</p><p>The return of DiVincenzo, as well as the likely returns of Bogdanovic and Hartenstein to the lineup, certainly make the Knicks favorites in this matchup.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grading-knicks-pistons-trade-deadline-blockbuster-bojan-bogdanovic-alec-burks">last Thursday’s trade</a> that landed Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks in New York should result in a Knicks team that is better prepared to tread water before their stars return. </p><h2><b>Injuries adding up for Knicks</b></h2><p>The Knicks are pretty banged up at the moment. Mitchell Robinson, who underwent ankle surgery in December, was the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-must-pivot-quickly-with-mitchell-robinson-out-for-season" rel="noopener">first major injury of the year</a>. Julius Randle suffered a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-julius-randle-injury-timeline-new-york" rel="noopener">shoulder injury</a> (non-shooting arm) in Miami in late January, and he will remain out until at least after the All-Star break.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-og-anunoby-out-for-at-least-3-weeks-after-elbow-surgery" rel="noopener">OG Anunoby will be out</a> for at least three weeks after recently undergoing a minor procedure to remove a loose bone fragment. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-isaiah-hartenstein-ruled-out-mavericks-game-concerning-injury" rel="noopener">Isaiah Hartenstein has been out</a> for two games with a strained Achilles that also cost him two games in January. And Jalen Brunson recently missed a game with an ankle injury — although he returned to action in a loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night.</p><h2><b>Tom Thibodeau to blame?</b></h2><p>Head coach Tom Thibodeau has a reputation for leaning on his star players a little too much, and it’s assumed that it results in injuries. That’s probably overblown, as any coach in their right mind wants their superstars on the floor as much as possible. However, the narrative isn’t entirely false. </p><p>Coach Thibodeau inarguably leaves stars in too long after a game is already decided. And that absolutely impacts injuries. For example, Randle’s injury came with 4:27 remaining in the fourth quarter andwith  New York ahead by a comfortable margin (115-98). </p><p>Granted, 17 points is not a “safe” lead in the modern NBA. But it is squarely the coach’s responsibility to understand the pace of the game and manage his or her players accordingly. And Thibodeau is the last coach anyone expects to pull players when a game is ostensibly in hand.</p><p>But ultimately, Thibodeau is a brilliant coach, and you have to take the good with the bad. End of story. </p><h2><b>Trade deadline deal should alleviate strain on Knicks’ role players</b> </h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Bojan_Bogdanovic_looking_fierce.webp"><figcaption>John Jones-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Fortunately, the Knicks’ front office pivoted perfectly prior to the trade deadline, adding key depth to a team badly in need of it. </p><p>Prior to the trade (and including Saturday’s game against the Pacers), New York was leaning heavily on a select few players. In particular, Josh Hart and Precious Achiuwa were averaging more than 38 and 40 minutes over the last five games, respectively. That’s not sustainable, at least not if they want to win.</p><p>By adding Bogdanovic and Burks — and not sending out any rotation pieces — the Knicks’ just added important reinforcements that should help simply by adding healthy, talented bodies. </p><p>Once healthy, New York now boasts a minimum of nine players who should be in the team’s  rotation: Brunson, Donte DiVincenzo, Anunoby, Randle, Hartenstein, Robinson, Bogdanovic, Burks, and Hart. And that does not include Miles McBride, Achiuwa or Jericho Sims. </p><p>And if New York gets entirely healthy before to the playoffs, look out. Since the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/what-knicks-getting-og-anunoby-trade-what-comes-next" rel="noopener">December 30 Anunoby trade, </a>the Knicks have been a defensive behemoth, holding teams to less than 104 points per game. That’s the team that Knicks’ fans are hoping to see in the stretch run of this season.</p><p>Hopefully, Bogdanovic and Burks can steady the ship until everyone returns. And once that happens, New York is even deeper and more difficult to prepare for.</p><h2>Health is still a hurdle, even after the trade</h2><p>Even with Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks in tow, the Knicks must still hope for health. Julius Randle must return as the player he was in January. OG Anunoby must do the same. And everyone else must remain healthy. But that’s not all that has to go right. The Knicks must also win games, and do so against some good competition. The Knicks currently have the <a href="https://www.tankathon.com/remaining_schedule_strength" rel="noopener">13th-hardest remaining schedule</a>, according to Tankathon. They have two games remaining against the Boston Celtics, one against the Cleveland Cavaliers, one against the Denver Nuggets, and one against the Oklahoma City Thunder. </p><p>Fortunately, the Knicks’ post-All-Star break schedule is spread out, meaning they can allow their players a requisite amount of time to heal up without hurting their playoff seeding too badly — although getting healthy sooner than later is ideal.</p><h2>Possible silver linings for Knicks</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Alec_Burks_shooting_the_ball.webp"><figcaption>John Jones-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>One thing that could realistically swing the Knicks’ fortunes is Robinson returning from injury. The Knicks have the seventh-best defensive rating in the league, giving up 112.7 points per 100 possessions. Imagine adding the Blockness Monster to the fray? New York hasn’t had Robinson available since the Anunoby trade, and the two of them together could easily anchor one of the best defenses in the league. </p><p>Robinson is a legitimate defensive presence. He was averaging a career-worst 1.3 blocks per game prior to injuring his ankle in December, but that’s probably because opponents firmly understand that it’s unwise to challenge him. He is also an offensive rebounding machine, averaging a league-best 5.3 offensive rebounds per game.</p><p>Robinson is scheduled to return to on-court activities following the All-Star break. And while there is currently no official timeline on an actual return to the Knicks’ line-up, it is widely expected to happen <i>before</i> the playoffs.</p><p>The All-Star break is just around the corner, and New York only has two games remaining before it. While every game is important, the Knicks would be well-served to allow their team a little extra time for some much deserved rest and relaxation.</p><p>But after the break, the Knicks should hope their players are healthy and ready to roll. If they are, the sky is the limit. If they are not, this Cinderella season could quickly turn into a nightmare.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Alec Burks and Bojan Bogdanovic can serve as consistent options in Tom Thibodeau’s coaching style. However, Josh Hart shares his outlook on how Bogdanovic will adjust to Thibodeau in general.</p><p>Burks has played for Thibs before. So, he’s well aware of how practices and games can be. But this is the first time in Bogdanovic’s career he’ll be playing for the veteran coach. Josh Hart just hopes Alec Burks <a href="https://www.postingandtoasting.com/2024/2/10/24067305/knicks-bulletin-burks-knows-what-to-expect-bojan-hoooo-that-boy-in-for-it" rel="noopener">is prepping his teammate accordingly</a> on the way to New York, per to Antonio Losada of SB Nation.</p><p>“(Burks) knows what to expect. Bojan—hoooo, that boy in for it. [Burks] knows what to expect, so hopefully on that [private jet] they’re on right now, he’s giving [Bogdanovic] a couple of tips and pointers. I will say, Thibs got a little bad rap about this, kinda—you know, the practice and all that. He is way better than I thought in the rumors and all what you hear. It’s way better, way more in tune, so he’ll be all right.”</p><p>At least Hart is optimistic about Bogdanovic adjusting to the Knicks’ scheme. But there will be a little adjustment for the veteran forward. Tom Thibodeau is known for coordinating hard practices and running his team often. But considering Bogdanovic is a professional athlete, he’ll likely be fine.</p><p>Alec Burks and Bojan Bogdanovic bring a ton of experience and versatility <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-news-more-details-on-ny-trade-with-pistons-for-bojan-bogdanovic-alec-burks-emerge" rel="noopener">to the Knicks</a> roster. They’re both consistent options and can each play multiple positions. Josh Hart loves the idea of having both of them as a teammate for at least the remainder of the season.</p><p>“We like the experience those guys bring to the team, we like the way they complement both our starters, and our second unit. We think they’re interchangeable, they play multiple positions.”</p><p>The Knicks are prime for a deep playoff run after this trade.

After strengthening their defense with the trade for OG Anunoby in December, the Knicks added more offensive firepower at the deadline in acquiring Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks from the Detroit Pistons. The Knicks have vaulted into the top echelon of the Eastern Conference and are looking to contend this season. While the deadline was on Thursday, <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeVorkunov/status/1756128672069681432" rel="noopener">more details</a> have emerged from the trade via Mike Vorkunov of The Athletic.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The Knicks are sending their own 2028 and 2029 second round picks to the Pistons in the trade that brought them Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, and New York will also send $3 million to Detroit, according to league sources.</p><p>— Mike Vorkunov (@MikeVorkunov) <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeVorkunov/status/1756128672069681432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 10, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In addition to acquiring Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, the Knicks will also be sending a 2028 second round pick, a 2029 second round pick and $3 million to the Pistons. There’s obviously no guarantee that those second round picks ever amount to anything, but second rounders have become a little more valuable in recent years.</p><p>Second round picks are good, cap friendly way to develop younger players and stash them in the G League. For a team like the Pistons, having more draft capital is a good thing.</p><p>On the Knicks side of things, they get two veteran wing players capable of putting up points. While the Knicks lost Quentin Grimes in the trade, this move can pay off in a big way. Bogdanovic had been averaging 20.2 points per game while shooting 46.8 percent from the field and 41.5 percent from three point range. Burks had been averaging 12.6 points and shooting 40.1 percent from three point range.</p><p>The Knicks are currently 33-19 and in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings. They are only two games back of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the second seed.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Knicks added Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks for, essentially, nothing. </p><p>To complete the deal, New York sent Quentin Grimes, who recently fell out of the Knicks’ rotation to the Detroit Pistons. They also sent back Evan Fournier, who’s been out of the team’s rotation all season, Ryan Archidiacono, Malachi Flynn, and two second-round picks. </p><p>And this all comes after New York <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/what-knicks-getting-og-anunoby-trade-what-comes-next">completed a trade</a> earlier this season, in which they added OG Anunoby and Precious Achiuwa. </p><p>So, despite adding talent, New York’s rotation remains intact — hence why the deal is seen as a major success for the Knicks’ playoff push. But it also has longer-term implications from which the Knicks stand to benefit <i>beyond</i> this season. Let’s review. </p><h2><b>Bojan Bogdanovic’s contract</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/New_York_s_updated_NBA_Finals_odds_after_landing_Bojan_Bogdanovic_Alec_Burks.webp"></figure><p>First, there are contract implications that could impact a future trade. Fournier’s deal is an asset because there is a team option for next season, allowing it to be picked up and used in a deal this Summer, too. It’s never been a great asset because Fournier has been a limited player of late given his defensive deficiencies. Further, he hasn’t seen considerable or consistent action in more than a year. But in some unique circumstances — like this one — actual impact doesn’t matter.</p><p>So, the Knicks gave up an asset that could have been used to add  a star in the near future. The thing is, Bogdanovic’s contract has a similar benefit to it. It is only partially guaranteed for 2024-25 and it expires after the next season. In other words, the Knicks still have a $19 million deal that can be included in a trade, should a suitable star become available. And given the difference in on-court utility, Bogdanovic’s contract is even more valuable than Fournier’s.</p><h2><b>The Knicks’ litany of first-round picks</b> </h2><p>The fact that New York was able to hold on to all of its future first-round picks is also a major victory. Detroit allegedly turned down a deal centered around two first-round picks for Bogdanovic as recently as last season, <a href="https://hoopshype.com/2023/11/29/pistons-turned-down-trade-offer-of-two-first-round-picks-for-bojan-bogdanovic-last-season/#:~:text=The%20Pistons%20passed%20on%20trading,a%20playoff%20spot%20this%20season.">according to HoopsHype</a>. So, adding Bogdanovic and Burks for Grimes, Fournier, Archidiacono, Flynn, and two second-round picks is a huge win that helps now and preserves future flexibility. </p><p>Moving forward, the Knicks still have all their own first-round picks, a 2024 protected Dallas Mavericks pick that is likely to convert this season, the Washington’ Wizards’ 2024 protected first-rounder, the Detroit Pistons’ 2024 protected first-round pick, and the Milwaukee Bucks’ 2025 protected first-rounder. That a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/knicks-draft-pick-stash-points-promising-future">litany of picks</a> to use in a future trade. </p><p>Granted, the Washington and Detroit picks are unlikely to convey anytime soon, and they may turn into second-rounders. But they’ll certainly have their own picks and two other useful ones (Dallas and Milwaukee). That’s an advantageous position to be in given how near its final form the Kncks’ roster is. And very few other teams can even compete with a best-possible New York deal.</p><p>So, after sitting with this deal for almost a day, it looks even better now than it did initially — and that’s saying something. </p><p>But for now, the Knicks will shift their attention to the buyout market, as they still have about $2.5 million in cap space to use. So as complete as the Knicks are now (when healthy), they might not even be done. Stay tuned. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
