Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Born in March of 2001 in Livno, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Karlo Matkovic joined the Cedevita U16 squad (Adriatic Junior league) in 2017. In 2018, he played on Cedevita's U16 and U18 squads. That led to Matkovic's first professional contract in April of 2019 with Cedevita's senior league squad. As a 17-year-old, he played nine games with the senior squad and averaged over 10 minutes per contest. For the 2019-20 season, Matkovic was loaned to OKK Belgrade for the Serbian League season. With OKK Belgrade, Matkovic started 24 of 25 games, but only saw 13-plus minutes of run per contest. Heading into the 2022 NBA Draft, Matkovic was a 6-foot-11 combination power forward/center who showed promise as a 20-year-old in the 2021-22 season for Mega Mozzart of the Serbian ABA Adriatic league. In 25 games (8 starts) for Mega Mozzart, the Croatian produced 11.6 points, 6.1 boards and blocks per Adriatic contest during the 2021-22 season. In June of 2022, Matkovic was selected by the New Orleans Pelicans with the 52nd pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.
