Bogi and Beli playing overseas (split)

[burekijogurt]

I do not think that he rushed it or was not cleared. He had rehab in Sacramento with the Kings training staff themselves. Then he had individual workouts. Then when he joined the NT he had practice, they had a practice game vs Hungary, then they had the game vs Greece and that was all fine. The suddenly in the game vs Estonia he felt something. So I don't think this was a case of him going out there "before he was ready", but he followed all the necessary steps, and YET, he felt something in that game vs Estonia. That's why I think its concerning...

This is why you always wait til the last minute to place your offseason bets.

Absolute last thing the Kings need is an offseason injury...


Searching the twittersphere I see claims that it's a high-ankle sprain.

I just watched the beginning of the game(it's on ESPN+). Not much to take from it. Bogi isn't playing very hard it seems with Serbia the heavy favorites vs Estonia. Three minutes in you can see him limping a little and testing out the knee and he asks the coach to be taken out. Seemed pretty precautionary to me.

A couple of you need to pace yourselves. It's only mid-September and you appear to be in full "sky is falling" mode. I'd wait until at least Oct. 1 or so.

Might want to pass out blood thinners to some of us.

Honestly sounds like it was just precautionary. Don't think Bogdan would play if he was hurt

Why do you think this? I think as much basketball as he played in recent years and his plateauing late in the season, and his subsequent knee problem (requiring surgery) SUGGESTS that Bogi will indeed play hurt - at least to a degree.

Any news? I heard that the coach may have taken him out because he supposedly had 3 turnovers and forced shots in that span instead of injury concerns? Still, I’d prefer him not to play for the NT team
