Bogdan Bogdanovic will miss the remainder of the EuroBasket due to injury.
Serbia had defeated weaker opponents in the last two games, but these weren't the losses we expected. (I was expecting a landslide victory.)
Now, Bogdanovic's injury will negatively impact Serbia.
Jokic won't win the championship on his own. Basketball is a team sport. Jokic contributes a lot, but he's not enough. Serbia remains a top contender for the title, but it would be a major disappointment if another influential member of the team were injured.

I feel exactly the same way: they can't win the championship without Bogdanovic. They might even lose their group matches. It's a welcome injury for Türkiye; one of the tournament's most ambitious teams is now without their second-most important player. Perhaps this is truly good news for Türkiye on its quest for the championship.
I hope he recovers soon. Bogdanovic is a player I like and respect very much. I wish him well
