After another disastrous performance, the Clippers backcourt has still not gotten rid of the shadow of injuries?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Golden State Warriors easily defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 98-79 at home. After this game, the Warriors successfully won two consecutive victories, with a current record of 4 wins and 1 loss; while the Clippers ended their two-game losing streak, with a current record of 2 wins and 2 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Clippers' starting backcourt general Bogdan Bogdanovic was still appalling. Bogdanovic played for 9 minutes and 22 seconds, making 1 of 5 shots and 0 of 3 from beyond the three-point line. He scored 2 points and 1 rebound. He also had 1 foul and a plus-minus of -3. Bogdanovic still has no touch on the offensive end, his scoring ability and shooting ability are still not fully utilized, and his effect on the offensive end is also terrible. He also failed to have the effect he should have at all, and did not provide any support for the team on the offensive end. On the other hand, Bogdanovic's performance on the defensive end is also very average, and he is also unable to have a good defensive effect on the defensive end. Overall, Bogdanovic's performance in this game was completely disaster-level, and he did not find his form at all. This is also an important factor in why his playing time is so limited.

Bogdanovic was sent to the Clippers by the Atlanta Hawks in a trade midway through last season. After joining the Clippers, Bogdanovic played a total of 30 times in the NBA regular season last season, averaging 25 minutes per game. He averaged 11.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game. He also had 1.2 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He shot 47.4% from the field, 42.7% from the three-point range, and 87.5% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Bogdanovic played a total of 7 times, averaging 16.7 minutes per game. He averaged 6.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 0.4 steals per game. He also had 1.6 turnovers and 3.6 fouls. He shot 36.4% from the field, 29.2% from the three-point range, and 85.7% from the free throw line. In the team's previous victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, Bogdanovic's performance was also at a very poor level. In 23 minutes and 39 seconds, he made 0 of 4 shots and 0 of 2 from beyond the three-point line. He did not score a point in the game. He only contributed 5 rebounds and 1 assist. He also had 5 turnovers and 2 fouls. The plus-minus value was +5.

Bogdanovic suffered a torn tendon during the Men's Basketball European Championship this summer. He has been recovering from his injury this summer. He had some recurring injuries during the preseason, which also caused him to miss some preseason and regular season games. As a result, after returning from injury, his performance was ridiculously poor. His performance in two consecutive games was disaster level. It seems that he still has not escaped the shadow of injury smoothly. With Bogdanovic's performance, it is estimated that he will fall out of the team's rotation soon. His damage to the team on the court is substantial and visible to the naked eye. The team needs to improve their record, and in this case they certainly have no way to give Bogdanovic more opportunities to make adjustments.
