As reported previously, Bogdanovic felt the discomfort in his knee and it became more intense at the end of the season.

Few weeks ago Bogdanovic underwent surgery on his right knee and the estimated recovery time might be more than three months, Radovanovic told to sportklub.rs.

"We hear from each other almost every day, the procedure went well, at a clinic in California. He will stay in the USA for another month, and then he should come to Serbia, Belgrade," commented Dragan Radovanovic, a longtime doctor of the national team.

It will be the first time since 2013 that Bogdanovic won't play for NT. Serbia will play in Group D, where they will face Czech Republic, Poland, Finland, Israel and Netherlands in the upcoming EuroBasket 2022.

The 29-year-old Bogdanovic averaged 15.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 3.1 assists over 63 games this season.
