Speculation has been growing about a potential return to Partizan Belgrade for Bogdan Bogdanovic, but the Clippers guard is staying locked in on the current NBA season, according to Basket News.

“I see the rumors in the media too,” Bogdanovic said in an interview with Aleksander Zigic of RTS after Sunday’s game in Milwaukee.

“It’s nice to see those images, but should I make a decision now? I have seven games left and a playoff run ahead, so my head is here. I’m not thinking about what will happen next month or next year.”

Bogdanovic, 33, is nearing an important offseason decision. He is earning just over $16 million this year, and the Clippers hold a team option for a similar amount next season.

Given his limited production, that figure could be a factor in the team’s decision.

He has played in 21 games this season, averaging 7.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 20.4 minutes while shooting .376 from the field, .329 from three and .800 from the line.

Despite that, he remains focused on being ready if called upon.

“I don’t know anything more than you,” he said regarding the EuroLeague rumors.

“I’m ready, I’m working, and I’m training. The season is what it is. I’m trying to be in the best possible shape when the playoffs start.”
