Gjorgji "Stanko" Čekovski (Macedonian: Ѓорѓи Чековски; born December 11, 1979) is a Macedonian professional basketball player who plays for Rabotnički of the Macedonian First League.^[1] He was also a member of the Macedonian national basketball team.

Macedonian national team

Čekovski is also a member of the Macedonian national basketball team. He competed with the team at Eurobasket 2011 and helped the team to a fourth-place finish, its best ever performance at the continental championship. In the group game against Greece, he was one of the heroes, scoring 11 points including three three-pointers and playing great defense to secure the win.^[2]

At the Eurobasket 2013, Čekovski suffered a muscle tear in the second game of the group stage against Lithuania, which was the end of the tournament for the power forward.^[3] Macedonia sorely missed Čekovski's presence, as the team ended in last place in the Group B.
