Nikola Pekovic, Shved are on verge of return
Nikola Pekovic - C - Minnesota Timberwolves

Nikola Pekovic (thigh) and Alexey Shved (ankle) are expected to return Wednesday.
They'll each end up missing five games. Expect the notoriously tough Pekovic to immediately step back into the starting five and quickly ramp back up to his season average of 31.2 minutes per night. Desperate owners that were using Greg Stiemsma as a blocks specialist for the last 10 days can safely move on.
