Bogdan Bogdanovic to miss at least one month

After dealing Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans this offseason, the Hawks do not have a defined backup point guard. Since the Hawks have several players who can handle the ball, who can pass and who can shoot, that role could fall to at least three or four players. “Trae, the way that he plays and what he does for our team, is unique,” Hawks coach Quin Snyder said Saturday. “So, I don’t look at it as a positional thing where (we) talk about backup this. It’s the same way you look at a wing. Dyson (Daniels) is not Hunt’s (De’Andre Hunter) backup, Zacch’s (Zaccharie Risacher) not Dyson’s backup. Bogi’s (Bogdan Bogdanovic) not Zacch’s backup. Like you have players, and the most important thing is (how) the team functions. And that means, when I say functions, it’s successful.” -via Atlanta Journal-Constitution / October 19, 2024

Bogdan Bogdanovic: “I know people want me back in Partizan, but my focus is now on NBA, I won’t lie. I want to impress there in best way possible. And when it is time to come back, I’m sure emotions will make the judgement.” -via BasketNews / September 22, 2024

Bogdan Bogdanovic won the silver medal with Serbia in the Olympics, he was one of the standouts of the tournament and now, as he is gearing up for his return to the US for the upcoming season, he has set a very simple goal. The Serbian sharp-shooter wants to stay healthy and be there for his team, setting his target: “To play 82 games. I haven’t managed to do that yet and it’s very difficult. Last season I missed two, in one I was sick, and on the other I was injured. I think I can make it happen this season. We need to work on the team atmosphere, we have a lot of young new players, so we have a chance to achieve it with players like Trey Young, Capela, Hunter… It’s a new challenge for me, in the NBA everything is possible, everything is possible everywhere, but you have to have faith and one should remain persistent”. -via EuroHoops.net / September 22, 2024
