Bogdan Bogdanovic says he found out about trade to Bucks via Twitter

In an interview with The Athletic’s Sam Amick, Serbian guard Bogdan Bogdanovic has given his side of his controversial restricted free agency. Reports surfaced before the start of free agency that the Milwaukee Bucks and Sacramento Kings had a sign-and-trade deal in place involving Bogdanovic.

“Everyone was congratulating me like it was done, and I didn’t know what was going on, really,” said Bogdanovic. “And then, the NBA investigation, again, I’m reading it off the Twitter again, what was going on. My agent was obviously telling me, but what was unprofessional out of everything was not letting the player know, not letting him know what was going on. It was 1 a.m., 2 a.m. in (Belgrade) and I was sleeping. And I was sleeping the whole night. I wake up in the morning, I’m getting ready for my workout, and I see that on the Twitter. That was my experience of my free agency. After that, I was scared.”
