Robert Covington (back) upgraded to questionable for 76ers on Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (lower back contusion) has been upgraded to questionable for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What It Means:
It looked like Covington was headed towards a second consecutive absence on Tuesday, but he's now day-to-day with a chance to play after X-rays and a CT scan came back negative. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot managed just 4 points in 24 minutes while taking Covington's spot in the first unit on Sunday.
Covington is averaging 31.0 FanDuel points per game this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 14.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.3 3-pointers, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers per game.
