In case you didn’t know…
Covington went undrafted back in the 2013 NBA draft, although the 29-year-old established himself as a starter in Philadelphia during the 2014-15 season after impressing in the G-League. Following four seasons with the Sixers, Covington was traded to the Timberwolves as part of the trade for Jimmy Butler and the small forward has featured 61 times for the Timberwolves, averaging 13.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per contest.
The heart of the matter
Despite the Timberwolves’ poor form, Covington has enjoyed another productive season and is currently shooting a career-high 44.1 percent from the field. His ability to space the floor and knock down three’s makes him an ideal trade target for contending teams such as the Sixers and Rockets - and it is unlikely that he will remain with the Timberwolves past next month’s deadline.
What’s next?
Covington and the Timberwolves are back in action on Friday as they take on the Indiana Pacers.
