It was announced earlier today that Bogdanovic suffered an avulsion fracture. There is no timetable for his return at the moment. 

Bogdan Bogdanovic's MRI was today, and he was diagnosed with an avulsion fracture in his right knee, with an associated soft tissue inflammation + bone bruise.

Once he meets with doctors, that will help determine his treatment/timeline:https://t.co/ayouU7Z7LH

The injury now leaves the Hawks in a tough spot, as they have been without Rajon Rondo for 7 games (knee injury), Danilo Gallinari for 2 weeks (ankle sprain) while the trio of Kris Dunn, Tony Snell and 1st round pick Onyeka Okongwu have yet to play a game this season. 

Would expect Atlanta to receive roster relief starting on Saturday.

The Hawks will meet the hardship roster criteria (4 players missing 3 consecutive games and out 2 additional weeks) with the injuries to Kris Dunn, Danilo Gallinari, Onyeka Okongwu and now Bogdan Bogdanovic.

Thankfully for the Hawks, Trae Young, John Collins and De'Andre Hunter remain healthy.
