Hawks Trade Bogdan Bogdanovic To Clippers For Terance Mann & Bones Hyland
The Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers have finalized a trade that will send Bogdan Bogdanovic and three-second round picks to L.A. in exchange for Terance Mann and Bones Hyland.
Bogdanovic spent his first three years in the league with the Sacramento Kings before signing with the Hawks ahead of the 2020-21 season, where he contributed to a deep playoff run that fell just two wins short of the NBA Finals. During Atlanta’s playoff run he turned in a career year, averaging 16.4 points per game and hitting a career-high 44% from three.
In March 2023 Bogdanovic inked a four-year, $68 million extension, with two seasons left on his current deal and a team option for 2026-27. He is set to earn $16 million next season, and if his team option is exercised, he will make another $16 million in the 2026-27 season.
Throughout his Hawks tenure, Bogdanovic averaged 15.1 points on 44% shooting and 38% from three. He earned a sixth-place finish in the Sixth Man of the Year voting in 2021-22 and moved up to fifth in 2023-24.

He had been a reliable scorer for four seasons in Atlanta, but this year, his shooting numbers fell to a career-low 37% from the field and 30% from three. As the Hawks focused on Trae Young, Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels and Zaccharie Risacher, Bogdanovic no longer fit their long-term plans. He has not played since the Hawks’ Jan. 25 loss to the Toronto Raptors.
After signing a three-year, $47 million extension last summer, Mann is set to earn $15.5 million per year for the next three seasons. He will hit unrestricted free agency in 2028.
So far this season, he has averaged 6.0 points in 19.9 minutes per game while shooting 45% from the field and 35% from three. His career three-point shooting percentage is 37.1%.
Hyland has appeared in 20 games this season, averaging 7.2 points, shooting 39% from the field and 39% from three. He will enter restricted free agency after the season.
