Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Recalled from G League Friday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic (hamstring) was recalled from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
Bogdanovic was sent to the G League to practice with the squad while ramping up for a return to game action. The sharpshooter hasn't played since the regular-season opener while recovering from a non-surgical procedure on his right hamstring, though he is expected to make his return sooner rather than later. The club will likely remain cautious with Bogdanovic when he returns, and it wouldn't come as a surprise if he comes back under a minute restriction.

Rotowire

The 31-year-old's elite scoring ability was crucial for Serbia in its Olympic campaign, and he served as the squad's No. 2 option behind Nikola Jokic. In six Olympic contests, Bogdanovic averaged 18.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists while shooting 46.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Game-high 30 points in Olympic win
Rotowire
Bogdanovic tallied 30 points (10-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes in Serbia's 96-85 win over South Sudan in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
Bogdanovic was lethal from beyond the arc, and he has served as an extremely productive second option behind Nikola Jokic. The 31-year-old did it all in the win while leading the team with a game high in points and a team high in assists. South Sudan was able to keep the game competitive up until the middle of the fourth quarter, but Bogdanovic's offensive barrage while Jokic was on the bench helped Serbia pull away. In three group-phase appearances, the sharpshooter averaged 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 28.0 minutes per game. The veteran will be crucial for Serbia in the Olympic quarterfinals, and his ability to get a bucket while Jokic is not on the floor could be game-altering.

Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Puts up 17 points Friday
Rotowire
Bogdanovic recorded 17 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes during Friday's 109-106 loss to the Timberwolves.
Bogdanovic's fantasy upside will always be tied to his scoring prowess and his shooting ability, and on that note, he continues to make his presence felt, scoring at least 15 points in four of his last five appearances. Bogdanovic has averaged 19.0 points while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 36 percent from three over his last 10 outings.
Bogdanovic closed with 20 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Monday's 113-101 victory over the Bulls.
Bogdanovic played a massive role in Atlanta's pivotal win over the Bulls, which moved the Hawks closer to securing a spot in the Play-In Tournament after missing just one shot from the field throughout the entire contest. Bogdanovic needs to be at his best for a Hawks team that remains without Trae Young (finger), and the veteran sharpshooter has delivered of late, putting up 20 or more points for the fourth time in his last five appearances. He's averaging 24.0 points per game in that five-game stretch.
