Pistons' Bojan Bogdanovic: Ruled out Thursday

Bogdanovic (calf) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Knicks.

Bogdanovic will miss his 19th straight game to start the season Thursday after being downgraded from questionable to out with a right calf strain. However, the veteran forward is nearing a return, and the Pistons have optimism that he could make his season debut as soon as Saturday versus the Cavaliers, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
