The Clippers suffered another blow, with a 11+3-over-six hamstring injury. Is it possible for him to end his European Cup journey?

Since getting Leonard in 2019, the Clippers have been regarded as a favorite to compete for the championship, but almost every season, the team will suffer serious injuries. In the past 24-25 season, the Clippers were in good shape, but they lost to the Nuggets in the first round of the tiebreak, and it seemed that the window for the championship was almost closed. But the management did not give up. In addition to retaining the main lineup framework, it also introduced many powerful veterans, and will make a final move for the championship in the new season.

However, the Clippers suffered another blow. Logically speaking, it is now the offseason, but many players represent the motherland and play in the current Men's Basketball European Cup. As the sixth super player of the Clippers, Bogdan Bogdanovic left the court due to a hamstring injury in the game against Portugal. Obviously, this will have a great impact on both Serbia and the Clippers in the new season.

After joining the Clippers last season, Bogdan's performance started high and ended low. He was very strong in the second half of the regular season and became the strongest point of the Clippers' second-team team. He averaged 11.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists per game, and his overall efficiency was very high, almost reaching the level of 180 clubs. However, when entering the playoffs, Bogdan's form plummeted. In a series, both sides would focus on studying their opponent's weaknesses. Bogdan is in no form, and can only score 6.4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in the series, and his data and efficiency have plummeted. In addition, Bogdan is not good at defense and has been regarded as an ATM by his opponents several times.

Of course, when he was in the international arena, Bogdan was still a big killer. Like Jokic, he is a core Serbian player. The two of them activated their teammates very well. Serbia won easily against Estonia and Portugal in the first two games. But Bogdan's hamstring injury caused a fatal blow to Serbia. Although the severity is not yet determined, the European Cup schedule is compact and this injury will take at least 1-2 weeks to rest. Especially Bogdan is very important to Serbia. If he doesn't play, Serbia may not enter the finals by relying on Jokic alone, and he may even end this European Cup journey.

Even for the Clippers, Bogdan's hamstring injury may have an impact. Because this injury is very troublesome, Paul and Harden, who also play for the Clippers, began to decline due to a hamstring strain. Even if it can recover later, it will take about a year, and Bogdan just celebrated his 33rd birthday. If the recovery effect is not good, it will be difficult for the Clippers to use it for themselves or want to sell him.
