The Atlanta Hawks will be without a valuable offensive player for about a month as guard Bogdan Bogdanovic is dealing with a hamstring injury, the team announced on Tuesday.
Bogdanovic, 32, hasn't played since the season opener and underwent a non-surgical procedure on Tuesday. He will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks.
The eight-year veteran and Serbia native is a key piece of Atlanta's bench, averaging 15.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists in his five seasons with the Hawks. With Atlanta, he's been a 39.1 percent 3-point shooter.
Including his first three seasons in the NBA with the Sacramento Kings (2017-20), Bogdanovic has averaged 14.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 450 games (193 starts). He's a career 38.4 percent 3-point shooter.
The Phoenix Suns selected him No. 27 overall in the 2014 NBA Draft and traded his rights to Sacramento two years later.

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) will play on Tuesday versus the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran logged 40 minutes in Monday's overtime win over the Toronto Raptors, finishing with 17 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. He was listed as probable, so there was never much concern about his availability. Instead, fantasy managers were left wondering if Murray would be limited in the second game of a back-to-back. However, that won't be the case, with head coach Michael Malone stating he won't have a minutes restriction. With that in mind, keep Murray starting in all fantasy lineups.
Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports that Boston Celtics small forward Sam Hauser (back) will likely be available for Wednesday's matchup with the Indiana Pacers. He played opening night against the New York Knicks, finishing with 10 points (4-10 FG), five rebounds, and an assist. Hauser was on the court for 24 minutes, coming off the bench during the 132-109 blowout win. Since then, the 26-year-old has missed three consecutive contests. Getting Hauser back will add even more firepower to the undefeated (4-0) Celtics.
Golden State Warriors small forwardAndrew Wiggins(back) is unavailable for Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 29-year-old is still dealing with a lower back strain. Sidelined for the first half of the Warriors, back-to-back set Wiggins should be ready for Wednesday's rematch with the Pelicans. Stephen Curry (ankle) and De'Anthony Melton (back) are also out. Brandin Podziemski, Buddy Hield, and Moses Mood will likely see an uptick in minutes during Tuesday's contest.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George(knee) will not play against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday. According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the team said George and Joel Embiid (knee) participated in portions of practice today and will be re-assessed later in the week. Fantasy managers should consider George and Embiid questionable for the Sixers next game on Saturday versus the Memphis Grizzlies.
On Wednesday, Philadelphia 76ers centerJoel Embiid(knee) will not suit up against the Detroit Pistons. According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, the team said Embiid and Paul George (knee) participated in portions of practice today and will be re-assessed later in the week. The NBA's Most Valuable Player in the 2022-2023 season missed the entire preseason with a left knee issue and will now miss his fourth straight game to start the regular season. Fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Saturday's contest versus Memphis.
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (hamstring) will not be available for Tuesday's matchup against Minnesota. He missed Monday's meeting with Utah due to a right hamstring strain and will not travel with the team to Minneapolis. The rest of the Mavericks' bigs should absorb Kleber's minutes, slightly boosting their fantasy value. Dereck Lively II has been the most productive of them. Despite coming off the bench, Lively II has notched 11.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.0 blocks. Kleber gets his next chance to return on Thursday versus Houston.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma couldn't complete Monday's meeting with Atlanta due to groin soreness. He was pulled from the game near the end of the fourth quarter. Despite making an early exit, Kuzma still logged 40 minutes in a 121-119 win. He posted his first double-double of the season with 25 points and 11 rebounds, adding seven assists to his line with impressive 5-for-9 shooting from deep. Washington would sorely miss Kuzma's offensive ability in Wednesday's rematch against the Hawks if he can't play. Marvin Bagley III may receive additional playing time during his absence, but he was used for only four minutes in Monday's victory. The Wizards could take a committee approach to make up for Kuzma's absence.
Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks is expected to be out for the rest of the season after suffering a fractured right fibula and dislocated ankle on Monday versus Dallas. Hendricks was injured in the middle of the third quarter in a non-contact situation, suddenly collapsing on the floor as the Jazz were setting up their offense. Hendricks, the ninth pick of the 2023 draft, has opened the campaign as a starter. He has averaged 4.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 blocks, and 1.7 steals. Hendricks' absence will likely allow John Collins to return to the starting lineup, increasing his fantasy value.
New York Knicks guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) didn't finish Monday's game against Cleveland. Hart was on the injury report ahead of the contest with an ankle impingement and appeared to have hurt his ankle late in the game, missing the final few minutes. Before being forced to leave, Hart put together a good line with 16 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, and three steals. It's likely Hart will remain on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's clash with Miami. His absence would provide a boost to Miles McBride's fantasy stock. He's averaged 14.7 points and 2.7 assists in 25.3 minutes this season.
Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (head) missed the end of Monday's matchup against Denver. He exited the contest in the final minutes of the fourth quarter after taking an elbow to the face by Nikola Jokic. Jokic and the Nuggets ended up beating Toronto 127-125 in overtime. It was an unfortunate ending to a good night for Barnes, as he tallied a team-high 21 points with 12 rebounds, nine assists, five steals, and one block. His exit on Monday leaves a question mark over Barnes for Wednesday's match against Charlotte. If he's out, Ochai Agbaji could get back into the starting lineup. RJ Barrett's return to action pushed him to the second unit on Monday.
