New York Knicks forward Bojan Bogdanovic will have surgery for a left foot injury that occurred in Game 4 of an Eastern Conference series against the Philadelphia 76ers and miss the remainder of the playoffs, multiple outlets reported.
Bogdanovic, 35, also will have left wrist surgery to address a previous injury, according to the reports.
The foot injury occurred Sunday when Bogdanovic and the Sixers’ Nicolas Batum were chasing a loose ball. Batum landed on Bogdanovic’s foot when he dived for the ball.
The Knicks have a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series against the Sixers and can advance with a victory in Tuesday’s home game against Philadelphia.
In 29 regular-season games, after joining the Knicks from the Detroit Pistons, Bogdanovic averaged 10.4 points with 2.0 rebounds and was shooting 37 percent from 3-point range.
In 10 NBA seasons, for six different organizations, Bogdanovic has averaged 15.6 points and 3.6 rebounds over 719 games (572 starts).
