The Knicks forward suffered the injury during Game 3 against the Philadelphia 76ers. Bogdanovic collided with the Sixers forward Nicolas Batum early in the second quarter. The incident occurred on a loose ball when Batum dived into Bojan’s ankle to get it. However, the Knicks forward suffered pain and headed straight to the locker room. The impact of the hit would have spread all over the body.
Bogdanovic’s wrist might have hurt for the whole playoff game against the Sixers, but it did not let him quit the game. Even on a small level, Bojan has contributed in the first three playoff games. He scored single-digit points with a 5-point contribution in the last game against the Sixers.

Bogdanovic had 92. 1% accuracy from the free-throw line last year, third-best in the league for 2023-24. However, his on-floor shooting percentage was only 29.2%.
