Nets forward Bojan Bogdanovic will undergo surgery on his foot, bringing his season to an end, reports Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).
Bogdanovic has yet to play a game in 2024/25 after undergoing surgeries on his left foot and his left wrist last spring. He told reporters ahead of training camp in the fall that his wrist had healed but that his recovery from the procedure on his foot required more time.
While Charania doesn’t explicitly say which foot this latest procedure will address, his wording suggests that it will be that left one again, an indication that it didn’t heal as hoped following the initial surgery.
Bogdanovic, who will turn 36 in April, has enjoyed a long, productive NBA career, averaging 15.6 points per game on .460/.394/.859 shooting in 719 regular season games for the Nets, Wizards, Pacers, Jazz, Pistons, and Knicks since 2014.
If he had gotten healthy, the 6’7″ forward – who is on an expiring $19MM contract – would have been viewed as a potential buyout candidate for a lottery-bound Nets team. We can cross his name off that list now though, and it’s increasingly unclear whether he’ll even make it back to the NBA, given his age and his ongoing health issues.
The Nets already have one open spot on their 15-man roster, so there’s no need to make a move with Bogdanovic at this point, but if they do need to create a second opening on the roster before the end of the season, he’s an obvious choice to be waived.
Doesn’t even play. And he’s hurt again ??
Could be the end of a career.
Since you didn’t bother to read – his foot didn’t heal from the initial surgery.
And which foot will require surgery,since you didn’t either.
“He told reporters ahead of training camp in the fall that his wrist had healed but that his recovery from the procedure on his foot required more time.”
Ah yeah I’m sure he’s having surgery on his other foot for ****s and giggles. Learn how to read between the lines, Teach.
No I don’t assume anything for ****s and giggles young lady, he may have injured his other foot sticking it in his his mouth, making conjectures, much like you.
Yo Teacher. If you are not Adrian Dantley then stop stealing his nickname
Yo Luke fast lookup on basketball reference guide making you look like you know something. Skip wise kicked Adrians a** every single time I saw them play. Go away and back to googling for your help.
Since you dont comprehend. Or follow the L.
His first surgery was last yr. He’s had all yr to be evaluated.
And the evaluation is – he needs another surgery. What a concept.
sInCe U dOnT cOmPrEhEnD – TAKE the L.
I think he will be useful for a contending team next year. I can see the elite teams wanting his shooting off the bench.
While he could cease to be an NBA player ala Joe Ingles, it’s worth noting Taurean Prince was also signed on a minimum. This is an exceptionally thin FA class.
A cross-town reunion w/ the Knicks could make some sense. As a part-time specialist he’s an upgrade from Matt Ryan.
Bogdanovic is a seasoned pro. Nets never cared if he played or not. Their yr has been over long ago. They knew or he knew it wasn’t healed. If you want to believe Nets. Both didn’t care enough to do something about it. So now they find something. Means he misses the buyout mkt. And wants to be ready for next yr. At 36 it might be over. He should of taken care of it earlier. To make an impression this yr after buyout mkt.
Nets only had two moves with Bogdanovic this yr. Trade him as salary filler. Or trade him at trade deadline healthy. So after TD you figure out he needs another surgery. A ankle you should have been monitoring from preseason. Yeah ok
Bogey is cooked…back to euroleague for your farewell tour
