“He was the guy who helped win the last medal for Croatian national team, was our most popular athlete and probably the best,” Pacers (and former Nets) forward Bojan Bogdanovic told The Athletic. “Everyone knew who he was and why. He was one of the first European players in the NBA, so he opened the doors to the NBA for Europeans, not just Croatians. You looked up to that and respected it.”

It had to be a long Monday night for Bogdanovic after his late-game miscue against the Celtics. But he didn’t let it carry over. He had one of his best games of the season. Bogdanovic has been steady all season, and his mistake against the Celtics was out of the norm. However, bouncing back when you feel you have cost your team a victory is easier said than done. Bogdanovic made it look easy, with timely shots and a solid overall performance. Bogdanovic left the court feeling a lot better than on Monday. “It was tough 48 hours for me,” said Bogdanovic. “Terrible play. I didn’t sleep at all the past two days. (This is) really going to help me get over that game, that play. I don’t care how I play, it’s about the team. To see that scoreboard, that we won the game, to be relaxed again – (this will) get out of my mind that play from last game. “
