Pekovic to finish out season : Timberwolves center Nikola Pekovic plans on finishing out the regular season, despite being bothered by bone spurs in his right ankle, reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Pekovic will have surgery on his right ankle and foot two weeks after the end of the regular season, according to the report. "It's something that will help me to be healthy next season," he said. "It will help me and my team and everything. I know without that trouble, I'll be more calm, not thinking about it. And hopefully, not miss any games." (Updated 04/16/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Pekovic will continue to play through his injury for the remainder of the season, but that could change moving forward. With Minnesota having nothing left to play for expect pride, the club could opt to rest the 7-footer if he re-aggravates anything moving forward. Keep an eye on his status moving forward. Pekovic has put together a breakout season for the Timberwolves this year, so Fantasy owners can consider him a high-end option in all formats as long as he can stay on the floor.
