After a slow start to the NBA season, Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic has quickly become one of the team’s most important pieces. Since the injury to De’Aaron Fox last week, Bogdanovic is averaging 21.5 points and 8 assists per game and has essentially kept the Kings afloat during a brutal stretch in the schedule.
The Serbian sniper continued his hot streak on Tuesday night in Sacramento’s victory over the Phoenix Suns. Bogdanovic scored a career-high 31 points, and made an also-career-high seven three-pointers. He was absolutely the reason that the Kings ended up being victorious, evidenced by Phoenix’s unlikely comeback at the end of the game when Bogdanovic hit the bench due to cramping.
