Pekovic (Achilles) took part in some two-on-none pick-and-roll work with Ricky Rubio on Wednesday, and seems to be moving forward in his progression back to the court, Jon Krawczynski of the Associated Press reports.

Analysis:

Pekovic continues to recover from Achilles' tendon surgery, but his increased activity Wednesday represents a positive sign. The big man Pekovic likely won't return until some point in December, and is likely to be buried on the depth chart behind Karl Anthony-Towns and Gorgui Dieng.
