Horrid shooting performance Bogdanovic (finger) finished with seven points (3-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes Wednesday in the Jazz's 105-97 loss to the Sun... Impact Bogdanovic sat out Monday's loss to Phoenix with the injury, which was later diagnosed as a left ring finger avulsion. Though he's expected to take 4-to-6 weeks to fully heal, Bogdanovic plans to play through the injury while wearing a splint. He certainly didn't seem comfortable in his return to the lineup Wednesday, turning in one of his worst shooting performances of the season while also tossing his splint toward the scorer's table at one point during the contest, per Sarah Todd of The Deseret News. The Jazz provided no indication afterward that they plan to shut Bogdanovic down to let the finger heal properly, but fantasy managers may want to keep an eye on his shooting performances over the next few games to see if Wednesday's outing was an outlier or a sign of what's to come. Even at full health, Bogdanovic brings most of his value through his scoring, three-point production and free-throw percentage, so his outlook would take a significant hit if his shooting remains compromised while he plays through the injury.
