G/F Bojan Bogdanovic finished with a team-high 22 points, including a dagger 3-pointer with 1:37 remaining that lifted the Nets over Houston on Wednesday. "We really need this win," Bogdanovic said. "Just because of that we got more comfortable to play to enjoy the game."

Bogdanovic (ankle) will miss Thursday's preseason game against the Pistons, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

Bogdanovic missed the last two days of practice due to a sore right ankle and didn't make the trip with the Nets to Detroit. His injury isn't considered a significant one, so it's quite likely that he'll be back on the court before the preseason schedule draws to a close.

Bogdanovic (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Andy Vasquez of The Record reports.

Bogdanovic is dealing with a minor ankle injury, and his status for Thursday's preseason matchup with Detroit looks to be up in the air. Regardless, the ailment is unlikely to linger into the regular season.

Bogdanovic is expected to start at shooting guard for the Nets during the upcoming season, Tim Bontemps of the New York Post reports.

With Deron Williams now in Dallas, Jarrett Jack is positioned to start at point guard, while Bogdanovic and Johnson fill out the two starting spots on the wing. Wayne Ellington and first-rounder Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will likely serve as the top reserves on the wing, but neither should represent serious threats to Bogdanovic's minutes load. The 6-foot-8 Serbian saw his playing time pick up as the season wore on last season, finishing with 34.3 minutes per contest in the Nets' six-game first-round playoff loss to the Hawks. Bogdanovic doesn't offer enough production in most categories to warrant a ton of fantasy intrigue, but if he's able to improve on last year's 35.5 percent shooting rate on three-pointers, he could emerge as a double-digit scorer for the Nets.

Bogdanovic (concussion) played for the Croation National Team on Tuesday after missing one game. He provided 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, and one steal in 23 minutes in Croatia's 73-55 win over the Macedonian National Team.

The Croats play Wednesday and Thursday. Since FIBA doesn't enforce concussion protocols, Bogdanovic may be in jeopardy of causing further injury. He had just returned from a swollen right ankle prior to suffering the concussion, and his playing time may be limited over the next two days.

Bogdanovic (ankle) suffered a concussion during the first game of Eurobasket on Saturday and will not play Sunday against Greece, David Pick of Basketball Insiders reports.

Bogdanovic endured a swollen right ankle during exhibition season with the Croation National Team but was cleared prior to the match. Even though he took a hard fall in Saturday's international game, Bogdanovic has already stated his eagerness to play. Croatia will play five games over the next six days, and Bogdanovic should be considered day-to-day after likely sitting out Sunday's contest.

Bogdanovic sat out Friday's Eurobasket friendly with a swollen right ankle that he originally suffered Thursday.

It's unclear how serious the injury is, but it's probably just a minor sprain that the Croatian national team is being cautious about given the fact that they're still just finishing the preparation rounds of Eurobasket before the real tournament begins on September 5th.

Bogdanovic appeared in 78 games for the Nets in 2014-15, averaging 9.0 points and 2.7 rebounds per game while shooting 45.3 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent from three.

The 26-year-old rookie was thrown into the fire right away, starting on opening night and going on to start the Nets' first 18 games. Over that span, he averaged 9.8 points and 3.0 rebounds (43.5% FG) in 30.7 minutes per game. He struggled from beyond the arc, however, converting at just a 33.3 percent clip. Coach Lionel Hollins opted to moved Bogdanovic to the bench, and he continued to put up mediocre numbers in December, January and February before finding his stride down the stretch. Bogdanovic averaged 10.2 points per game on 50.4 percent shooting (40% FG) in March and upped his numbers to 14.4 points on 52.6 percent shooting (48.8% 3Pt) in April. Bogdanovic logged big minutes in all six of the Nets' first-round playoff games, but he struggled shooting the ball, converting at a 39.0 percent clip. Bogdanovic will enter the second year of his contract with the Nets next season, which will pay him $2.43 million.

Bogdanovic will remain in the starting lineup for Game 3 on Saturday.

Bogdanovic will be making his second consecutive start Saturday after posting eight points on 3-of-9 shooting as the starting shooting guard in Game 2. Despite playing over 30 minutes in both games of Brooklyn's series, Bogdanovic has yet to replicate his scoring numbers from late in the regular season.

Bogdanovic will get the start at shooting guard for Wednesday's Game 2 against Atlanta, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN reports.

While Markel Brown got the start in Game 1, he played only six minutes while Bogdanovic saw 32 minutes off the bench. Bogdanovic will now move into the starting lineup, but his workload isn't likely to change drastically. He'll look to rebound after a disappointing 2-for-8 shooting performance in Game 1.

Bogdanovic had 28 points (12-17 FG), three rebounds, two assists and two turnovers in 34 minutes on Wednesday in the regular season finale.

He's seen increased playing time as of late averaging 17.6 points in 31 minutes a game. The Nets have been in a playoff race, so it's likely that his role will stay very similar to what it was near the end of the regular season.

Bogdanovic scored 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go along with one rebound and two assists in 33 minutes Monday against the Bulls.

Bogdanovic continues to see increased playing time as he has played at least 30 minutes in five of his last six games. He's averaged 15.7 points and 2.5 three-pointers over those six games, but hasn't contributed much anywhere else.

Bogdanovic posted 22 points, three rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 30 minutes of action Friday against the Wizards.

Bogdanovic is averaging 14.2 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.2 three-pointers made over the last five games. He's had four consecutive double-digit scoring outings, and it's likely he can produce solid numbers to close the year. Consider him an option in 14-man leagues.

Bogdanovic scored a team-high 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt) and recorded two assists in a team-high 33 minutes Saturday against the Hawks.

The Nets were down 66-48 going into halftime and coach Lionel Hollins threw in the towel midway through the third quarter. Markel Brown was the only starter on either side to play in the final period. It was a nice bounce back game for Bogdanovic after scoring 10 points in the previous four games combined, but it was met with little resistance.

Bogdanovic scored 18 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with four boards in 32 minutes in the win over Cleveland on Friday.

After a nice streak of scoring over a week ago, Bogdanovic was limited to a combined 10 points on 25.0 percent (5-of-20) from the field in his last two games. He is getting consistent minutes off the Nets' bench and should be good for points and 3-pointers in the late stages of the season.

Bogdanovic scored 21 points (8-8 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT) with five rebounds in 29 minutes Saturday.

Bogdanovic was unconscious Saturday, nailing all eight of his field goal attempts, which is obviously unsustainable, but over the last month, the rookie has hit 55 percent of his shots, so his shooting obviously improved. If you need a contribution in points and three-pointers, Bogdanovic is coming on, averaging 17.8 points, and 2.0 three-pointers in his last four games and could be a solid add, despite his bench role.

Bogdanovic posted 17 points, three rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two blocks in 49 minutes of action Friday against the Bucks.

Bogdanovic is now averaging 16.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 2.7 three-pointers made over the last three games. While these numbers don't pop off the charts, they warrant ownership in 16-man leaguesand deeper.

Bogdanovic scored 21 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt) to go along with four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes Monday against the Timberwolves.

Although Bogdanovic had a nice offensive performance Monday, he only scored 10 points combined in his last two games. He's not consistent enough at this time to be a significant fantasy contributor.

Bogdanovic returned from a three game absence due to an ankle injury and scored one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT) with three rebounds in 11 minutes Saturday.

With Markel Brown and Alan Anderson playing well, Bogdanovic will find it hard to force his way back into the starting lineup and may find it difficult to approach his 23 minutes he's averaged over the season. He's only averaged 7.7 points with 1.0 three-pointers in his rookie season, so he remains outside the purview of most fantasy players.

Bogdanovic (ankle) will take the court Saturday at Dallas, the New York Post reports.

Bogdanovic won't return to the starting lineup after a three-game absence due to an injured ankle. However, he should approach the 15 minutes per game that he's logged as a reserve this season.
