Timberwolves waive Kyrylo Fesenko

If Kyrylo Fesenko is to appear in the NBA this season, it will have to be with someone other than the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

The 7-foot-1 center was waived by the Timberwolves on Monday, as the team trimmed its roster down to 17 players. 

Fesenko, who hasn't appeared in an NBA game since the 2011-12 season, was hoping to make the team in order to bring his wife and relatives living in Ukraine to the United States. 

The 27-year-old was unlikely to crack the Timberwolves' roster and appeared in only one preseason game.
