Hamstring tear, return to Clippers for treatment

Bogdan is the captain of Serbia. In the national team, Jokic has to shout big brother, but he has been diagnosed with a torn hamstring. After consultation with the Clippers and the Serbian national men's basketball team, they have returned to Los Angeles for treatment. Bogdan officially left the team after hugging Jokic.

The official Serbian men's basketball team also issued a statement: "National team captain Bogdan will miss all remaining European Cup games due to injury."

Hamstring tear is a serious injury, but it does not require surgical treatment. The injury is divided into three levels and one level (slight tear): it is expected to recover 1-3 weeks. Level 2 (partial tear): It is expected to recover 4-8 weeks. Level 3 (complete tear): It is expected to take 3-6 months or even longer, usually resulting in season reimbursement.

depends on which level Bogdan is, but judging by how he walks, it should not be at the worst level, but it should not be able to catch up with the opening game of the new season of the Clippers.

Harden had experienced a hamstring tear before. He was said to be a strain at the time. He suffered a second-degree hamstring strain in the 2021 playoffs. He chose to make a comeback forcibly, but the result was not ideal and caused irreversible damage to his career.

Therefore, if you don’t carelessly, you have to rest until you recover completely, otherwise you may recur if you force yourself to play. Curry also suffered a leg strain last season, and so did Gordon, which requires a long period of rest and recovery.

Bogdan may not be that important to the Clippers, but it is still very important to Serbia. I think they will win the championship this year because they have Jokic and now they have won four consecutive victories. But as the team's reliable outside firepower support, Bogdan may have some variables without him.

Bogdan only played 2 games in the European Cup this year, averaging 9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4 assists, with a shooting percentage of 77.8%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 50%. He is the most accurate player on the outside of this team. Without Bogdan, if he still wants to win the championship, Jokic can't beat the ball, and he has to show his real skills to handle it.

In fact, Bogdan's hamstring tear was not accidental. Last season, he missed the game due to multiple hamstring strains in the Clippers. It feels like he has exploded after accumulating to a certain level.

Bogdan is now 33 years old. As a European player, he is no longer young in the NBA. His salary next season is 16.02 million. I feel that the Clippers will probably be in vain for a season next season. I only played 30 games due to injuries last season. I like to repeat the injuries of hamstrings, so I may play even less next season.

Bogdan averaged 25 minutes per game last season, scoring 11.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists. He played some highlights when Brian Shaw was an agent coach, but Lu became in poor form after he came back to coach. Therefore, his performance in the Clippers is not very stable, and the three-point skill he relies on for survival is also very effective.

Finally, I hope Bogdan will recover soon and return to the show. After all, he is also paid 16 million yuan. It’s really not low. You can’t keep it like this for nothing!
