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.

Leading scorer from second unit
CNew Orleans Pelicans
March 25, 2025
Matkovic finished with 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 22 minutes off the bench during Monday's 112-99 victory over the 76ers.
ANALYSIS
The rookie center led the Pelicans in scoring on the night in an efficient performance. Matkovic tied his season highs in points and threes in the process, but his workload and production remain inconsistent -- he'd scored in single digits in four straight games prior to Monday.
