Bojan Bogdanovic, a key player for the New York Knicks, will undergo surgery on his left foot, ruling him out for the remainder of the playoffs.
Bogdanovic got injured during Game 4 against the Philadelphia 76ers when Nicolas Batum accidentally fell on his leg while they were going after a loose ball.
Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau expressed disappointment over Bogdanovic’s injury, highlighting his valuable contributions off the bench in helping the team secure a 3-1 lead over the 76ers.
The specifics of Bogdanovic’s injury were not disclosed, and the timing of his surgery remains uncertain. The Knicks stated that he would undergo evaluation again in three months.
The Croatian veteran joined the Knicks in February following a trade with Detroit. His absence adds to the team’s injury woes, with All-Star forward Julius Randle already sidelined for the season due to shoulder surgery.
Thibodeau emphasized the need for the team to adapt to the challenges posed by injuries and rally together to continue their playoff journey.
