The Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic has agreed to a two-year extension worth $39.1 million, his agents at Wasserman confirmed on Sunday. The player will now be eligible to remain with the Pistons until the end of the 2024-25 season.
The Croatian player has already proven himself as a key player for the Pistons, averaging 23 points on 51.7% field goal percentage in the first six games of the season.
Bogdanovic arrived in Detroit as part of a preseason trade with the Utah Jazz. Prior to his arrival, Bogdanovic was in the final year of his contract with the Jazz, worth $19.5 million in its final year. While playing for the Jazz, the Pistons recognized the 33-year-old player’s excellent floor-spacing presence, deciding to make a move for the forward as a result.
At the time of Bogdanovic’s move to Detroit, the Pistons’ general manager Troy Weaver had the intention of signing the Croatian to the extension that was finalized on Sunday.
Over the past three seasons, Bogdanovic has played a prominent part in Utah’s NBA Western Conference playoffs. Prior to playing for the Jazz, the forward represented Indiana, Washington, and Brooklyn; averaging 15.1 points in his 609 career games.
