Year-Round News & Updates on the Minnesota Timberwolves
Timberwolves' starting center Nikola Pekovic had ankle surgery today (5/15) to remove bone spurs from his right ankle. According to a spokesman from the team, the surgery was a success.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Martin O'Malley at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Pekovic had a great sophomore season in the NBA. He averaged career-highs in points (13.9) and rebounds (7.4) and finished second in the NBA in field goal percentage, at .564 (Dwight Howard finished first with .573). Pek missed 8 games because of the ankle problems. Heading into next season, Pekovic is the likely starting center, pairing up with Kevin Love in the frontcourt. That's all for now, thanks for reading HOWL and GO WOLVES!
