NEW YORK — The Knicks will be without one of their key bench pieces for the rest of the 2024 NBA playoffs.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Bojan Bogdanovic will undergo season-ending surgeries to his left wrist and left foot.
Bogdanovic, who was already dealing with torn ligaments in his left (non-shooting) wrist, injured his left foot when Nicolas Batum fell onto it while diving for a loose ball during Game 4 on Sunday.
The Knicks listed him on the injury report as having a left ankle contusion.
Still, the report of surgery being needed indicates that the injury was more severe than initially believed. Miles McBride will play more as the Knicks look to close out the 76ers on Tuesday.
Bogdanovic, 35, averaged 10.4 points a game in 29 regular-season games after arriving in a deadline trade with the Pistons. His contract for next season is partially guaranteed.
