Bojan Bogdanovic will undergo season-ending surgery on his foot Wednesday. Bogdanovic was previously ruled out for Game 5 vs. the 76ers, but now it has been announced he will be missing the rest of the season as well. The 6'7 Serbian was playing through a wrist injury when he got injured in Game 4 versus the 76ers. He is also expected to have surgery on his wrist, although the timeline is unknown.

With Bogdanovic's absence, the Knicks will be shorthanded for the rest of the playoffs. There has been no confirmation on Mitchell Robinson's status for Game 5, but if he is also out, both Isaiah Hartenstein and Precious Achiuwa could see increased minutes as the Knicks aim to eliminate the 76ers. Long term, Robinson could also step into the rotation more and provide more depth to the depleted frontcourt.
