Instead of signing a long -term deal, Center Radoslav Nesterovic has accepted a one-year, $2.4 million qualifying offer from the Minnesota Timberwolves, ESPN's Ric Bucher reported Friday night.

Nesterovic, 26, played in all 82 games for the T-Wolves last season, averaging 8.4 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. In his four years in the NBA -- all with the T-Wolves -- the 7-foot Nesterovic has averaged 6.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.

Nesterovic will be an unrestricted free agent next summer.
