Wolves' Pekovic leaves game after tweaking ankle
Reuters
Nikola Pekovic of the Minnesota Timberwolves left Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns after tweaking his right ankle and won't return.
This is bad news as Pekovic has missed 32 games this season - mostly due to ankle issues. The bruising big man seemed to find his groove toward the end of February, registering five straight double-doubles.
