Bojan Bogdanović has made history as highest Croatian NBA scorer of all-time.
After scoring 28 points for the Detroit Pistons in their 116-104 win against the Minnesota Timberwolves on New Years Day, the 33-year-old passed Toni Kukoč who ended his career with 9,810 points to be the number one Croatian scorer in history.

Bogdanović is now just 165 points away from reaching 10,000 points.
Back in November 2021, Bogdanović became just the second Croat to pass 8,000 NBA points.

In May 2021, he broke Dražen Petrović’s Croatian NBA record of the most points in a single game when he scored 48 points for the Utah Jazz against the Denver Nuggets.
Bogdanović made his NBA debut in 2014 when he joined the Brooklyn Nets. Since then he has played with Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz and now the Pistons.
