VIDEO In the match with the Slovenians: Bogdanović suffered a concussion

Croatia defeated Slovenia 80:73 in the opening of EuroBasket, but the triumph of Perasović's team was overshadowed by the serious injury of Bojan Bogdanović, who, in the middle of the third quarter, after a drive, fell awkwardly and hit his head on the floor, reports the Patria News Agency.

The video showed the full force of the impact in the collision with Nebojša Joksimović, who tried to block his dunk. After the match, the national team doctors said that Bojan was lost, disoriented, and it is feared that it is a mild concussion.

He was carried to the Croatian bench, where he stayed for some time, and then left in the company of doctors. He was immediately taken for examinations to the hospital with a suspected concussion, and it is questionable whether Velimir Perasović will have him available for Sunday's match against Greece.

"It was heard that he fell hard and hit himself badly. The doctors recommended that he not enter the game. They didn't say that for nothing, but we will know the real situation only when we get the test results. However, after that, he asked me five more times to let him play. You know what Bojan is like, how stubborn and positive he is, that he would give anything to play. But there is no result that would allow someone's health to be endangered," said Croatian coach Velimir Perasović, N1 reports.
