Nikola Perkovich
In the past, Nikola Pekovic, who used to be the Timberwolves' most relied on inside lineman, stopped and stopped due to injury, did not have much opportunity to contribute to the court, and was reimbursed for the whole season before the season last year because of the problem of the right ankle, and today the Timberwolves officially released the news of the layoff of Pekovic.
Pekovic from Montenegro was drafted by the Timberwolves in the second round of the 2008 draft, but he did not immediately take the NBA stage until he officially joined the Timberwolves in 2010 and made his debut on October 27.
Pekovic's eye-catching record of averaging 16.3 points and 8.8 rebounds in the 2012-13 season became the Gray Wolves' most favorable interior weapon, allowing the Timberwolves to retain in 2013 on a five-year, $60 million contract, but Pekovic was plagued by injuries, scoring 17.4 points and 8.7 rebounds in 2014, but only played 54 games in the entire season, only 31 games in 2015, and then moved the knife in April due to Achilles tendon injuries, and the 2016 season was even worse, playing only 12 games in the whole season.
Last year's start of the season saw another pain in his right ankle, and he missed the entire 2016-17 season, with Pekovic last appearing on the pitch at the end of January 2016, when he played only six minutes.
Pekovic played just 271 games in seven seasons for the Timberwolves, averaging 24.9 minutes and 12.6 points and 6.7 rebounds, and if the 31-year-old Pekovic's injury problems continue to be solved, his basketball career is likely to end.
