Nikola Pekovic Out Indefinitely With Bursitis In Right Ankle 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jan 28, 2014 11:01 pm

Nikola Pekovic underwent an MRI that revealed bursitis in his right ankle. Pekovic will be withheld from basketball activities for 7-10 days and will be reevaluated at that time.


Pekovic will be sidelined indefinitely.


Pekovic left Monday's game at Chicago at the 6:00 mark of the first quarter and did not return.

Hopefully this doesn't put the kibosh on the bruise brother's all star campaign.

Rebuild time?

Lowry and picks for Rubio and Cunningham? Wolves stay competitive (or probably more) while dumping Rubio's salary. Rubio starts for the Raps and Cunningham is just filler.

I literally just came down with bursitis within the last week. (and man does it suck)
I wish I could be excused from my work in the meanwhile.
