Robert Covington (ankle) to miss 'extended period' for Timberwolves
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Robert Covington will miss an "extended period" due to a bone bruise on his right ankle, head coach Tom Thibodeau said.
What It Means:
The injury isn't expected to require surgery, but Thibodeau didn't provide a precise timeline for Covington's return. Josh Okogie will likely continue to start for the Timberwolves in the meantime.
RoCo is averaging 30.8 FanDuel points over 35 games for the Timberwolves and Philadelphia 76ers this season, with 13.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 2.1 steals, 1.3 blocks, and 2.4 triples per contest.
