The Serbian super scorer will return to the United States for treatment. Can the Clippers be in trouble?

According to two major European basketball media Eurohoops and BasketNews, Serbian backcourt star Bogdan Bogdanovic has been confirmed to withdraw from the currently ongoing Men's Basketball European Championship due to a torn hamstring muscle.

The Serbian Basketball Association also issued a statement talking about Bogdanovic's injury. The Serbian Basketball Association also revealed that Bogdanovic will return to the United States to continue receiving treatment. The Serbian Basketball Association wrote in a statement: Bogdanovic was diagnosed with a hamstring muscle tear, which also led to him missing all the remaining matches of the European Championship. We have reached an agreement with Bogdan’s club, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Serbian captain will return to the United States as soon as possible for further treatment and recovery in the coming time.

Bogdanovic played 2 games in the European Championships, averaging 20.1 minutes per game, averaging 9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, and 4 turnovers and 1 foul. His shooting percentage was 77.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 50%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 100%, and a plus-negative value per game was +23. Bogdanovic has very good offensive efficiency and scoring ability on the offensive end. He can also play some roles in passing and organizing. His effect on the court is quite outstanding and can provide a lot of support to the team. However, Bogdanovic suffered a hamstring injury in a breakthrough in the second quarter, which directly led to his withdrawal from the European Championship. The importance of Bogdanovic to the Serbian team is obvious to all. Without him, the competitiveness of Serbian team will also be significantly reduced.

Bogdanovic was sent to the Clippers by his old club Atlanta Hawks in a mid-season trade. After joining the Clippers, Bogdanovic made a total of 30 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 25 minutes of playing time, averaging 11.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 1.2 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He shot 47.4%, three-point shooting percentage 42.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 87.5%. In the playoffs, Bogdanovic made a total of 7 appearances, averaging 16.7 minutes per game, averaging 6.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.4 steals, 1.6 turnovers and 3.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 36.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.2%, and free throw shooting percentage of 85.7%. I don’t know how serious Bogdanovic’s injury is, and I don’t know how much time he needs to recover. Will his performance in the new season be affected?
