Bojan Bogdanovic is probably not on your list of reliable scorers in the NBA. In fact, despite being in the NBA for 11 years, many fans would be hard-pressed to name more than two of the six teams he’s played for. However, that’s the cross you must bear when you’re one of the most underappreciated and frankly, underrated role players of your generation.
But just because he isn’t on the fans’ radars doesn’t mean the teams he played for don’t appreciate him. And his net worth and salary reflect that. So let’s review that and answer every question you may have about his finances.

What is Bojan Bogdanovic’s salary? What is his net worth?
In October 2022, Bojan signed a $39.03 million veteran contract extension with the Detroit Pistons. But in the second year of that deal, he was traded to the New York Knicks. Even that trade didn’t stick as the Knicks moved him across the Hudson to the Brooklyn Nets as part of the Mikal Bridges trade. This marked a homecoming for Bojan who started his NBA career playing for the Nets back in 2014.

However, before his trade, the Knicks had guaranteed him the full salary mandated by his contract for the 2024/25 season. So, after his trade, the Nets ended up footing the $19 million bill. Fate had a different plan for the two, however. During Game 4 of New York’s first-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Croatian suffered a devastating foot injury. The 35-year-old underwent surgery for the injury but hasn’t made an appearance since then. And wanting to cut their losses, the Brooklyn Nets waived Bojan Bogdanovic on February 20, 2025.
Despite this recent turmoil, over the years, Bojan Bogdanovic has done enough to retain a net worth of $30 million per ClutchPoints. Not bad for a player who’s currently without a club. But how much has he made solely from his NBA contracts over the years?
How much has Bojan Bogdanovic made over the years in the NBA?
The easiest way for us to understand how much Bojan has made in his NBA career is to break down his earnings in each franchise. So let’s do that starting with his most recent club, the Brooklyn Nets. In his 4 years at the Nets, Bojan earned a whopping $28.2 million. Albeit, most of that amount came in the 24/25 season when he earned $19 million.

However, the franchises that paid him the most, by far, are the Utah Jazz and Detroit Pistons. In two years, the Pistons made Bojan $31 million richer with an additional $207k in incentives. But not to be outdone by Detroit, the Utah Jazz, paid him $52 million over 3 years with $387k in incentives. Crazy amounts of money right? But wait, we’re not done yet!

Slotting in right beside the Brooklyn Nets, Bojan’s time at the Indiana Pacers was also incredibly lucrative for him financially. He earned an astounding $21 million in two years at the Pacers. But Bojan Bogdanovic was also briefly on the payrolls of the Washington Wizards and the New York Knicks.

These franchises paid him a total of $8.63 million. The Knicks do most of the heavy lifting in reaching this figure, as they’re responsible for $7.5 million by themselves. Therefore, Bojan Bogdanovic has earned $142,662,146 over his NBA career. But now, as he wanders the buyout market, rudderless as a free agent, he’ll be looking to make a quick recovery so Bojan can secure his next payday for calling it quits in the NBA.
Now, as he waits for his next opportunity, the question isn’t whether he’s made his mark, but if he’ll get one last shot to add to it. Whether he lands on a contender or takes his talents overseas, one thing is clear, being underrated has never stopped Bojan Bogdanovic from cashing in
