The Detroit Pistons Announce Bojan Bogdanović Extension

The recently acquired asset is set to stay in Detroit - barring any trades at the deadline.

Detroit's current leading scorer has been an incredible addition thus far, bringing vital veteran experience and unreal shooting reliability and consistency. 

The Detroit Pistons announced today that the team has signed forward Bojan Bogdanović to a contract extension. Per team policy, the terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Bogdanović was acquired from the Utah Jazz on September 22, 2022. In seven games this season, he’s averaging a team and career-high 22.7 points per game while shooting 53% from the field and 51% from 3-point range.

Last season, Bogdanović, 6-7, 226, averaged 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 30.9 minutes per game with the Jazz. He averaged 18.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists over the previous three seasons in Utah while shooting 45% from the field and 40% from beyond the arc.

Drafted 31st overall in the 2011 NBA Draft, Bogdanović played professionally overseas before coming to the NBA in 2014.

Born in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bogdanović began his professional career in Europe, most notably, with Real Madrid in Spain and Fenerbahce in Turkey. He helped lead Fenerbahce to a Turkish Cup win in 2013 and a Turkish Supercup and Turkish League championship in 2014.
