Serbia Bogdan Bogdanovic outside for the rest of Eurobasket with the torn knee tendon

The captain of the Serbian team Bogdan Bogdanovic is out for the rest of Eurobasket with a torn knee tendon, leaving his status for the start of the clippers training field and beyond in the air.

Bogdanovic suffered the injury on a journey to the basket at the end of the first half of a group match against Portugal. The doctors of the Clippers team were consulted on the diagnosis – is covered by their insurance – and it was decided that it will be out for the rest of Eurobasket, reports Eurohoops.net.

The lesion is described as a torn knee tendon. Technically, any strain involves the tear of a muscle and this can happen in degrees. It seems more than a tension of grade 1, in which he could have returned to the tournament later. If this is of grade 2 or grade 3, it would send it out at least for the start of the training field and, if serious enough, for the start of the season.

The Star of Serbian tennis Novak Djokovic said from the United States Open that Bogdanovic contacted after hearing the news, saying this (Points of the clutch for Punta del Cappello).

“The moment I read that he was injured, I contacted him immediately,” said Djokovic. “I called him again and he told me that unfortunately it was a more serious injury. I gave him some suggestions, ways that could be able to accelerate his healing. But he does not seem to help this time.”

The team’s captain voted for his peers, Bogdanovic scored 11 points in 5 by shooting in the victory of Eurobasket opening of Serbia on Estonia, then he had seven points and five rebounds before leaving the game against Portugal. Serbia beat Latvia without him, improving 3-0 in the tournament and putting forward to the turn-up round by 16. Serbia remains one of the favorites of the tournament behind Nikola Jokic, but losing Bogdanovic is a setback.
