Zarko Cabarkapa - Save for a brief 25 minute comeback in January 2009 with his pre-NBA team, Buducnost, Cabarkapa has not played since 2006 due to multiple back surgeries. As late as December of that year, Cabarkapa still refused to consider retirement. But with another three years gone, he probably has by now. The only news about him since then is entirely NSFW, so Google it yourself.

- Zarko Cabarkapa
Zarko Cabarkapa was out of the game for three years, from early 2006 to early 2009, due to the chronic injuries that hampered his NBA career. He reappeared last January with his former team, Buducnost in Montenegro, for whom he played four games. He totalled 25 minutes, 11 points, 5 rebounds and 7 fouls, before not playing again after February after having yet another surgery. Cabarkapa is now 28 years old, still unsigned and still recuperating, but he hasn't given up yet.
