Thu Feb 2205:48Robert Covington Three Weeks Away From Returning
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) is expected to return to action in three weeks' time. The veteran has struggled to overcome a left knee issue, but there's finally light at the end of the tunnel for him. Covington last played on Dec. 30 and will miss a 23rd consecutive game on Thursday when Philadelphia returns from the All-Star break with a battle against the Knicks. Covington, an All-Defensive First Team selection in 2018, hasn't played a big role with the Sixers, averaging 16.8 minutes per game.

Wed Feb 1408:42Robert Covington Remains Out On Wednesday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) will miss a 22nd consecutive contest on Wednesday versus Miami. He's dealing with a bone bruise on his left knee and hasn't taken the court since Dec. 30. It's unclear when Covington will be available again. However, with the All-Star break coming up, he will have some extra time to get healthy ahead of the next game, which isn't scheduled until Feb. 22. Playing in his 11th year in the league, Covington has averaged 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.8 minutes.

Sun Feb 422:36Robert Covington Will Remain Sidelined Against Mavericks
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) hasn't played at all since the turn of the new year and that streak will continue as the team has ruled him out again for the Monday night contest against the Dallas Mavericks. He wasn't able to participate in practice either while Nick Nurse mentioned there's "not much light at the end of that tunnel," in regards to when he'll be back. There still isn't an official timetable, so only time will tell if he's able to return anytime soon or not. Marcus Morris Sr. and Kenyon Martin Jr. will continue to see minutes in the power forward spot while Covington and Nicolas Batum (hamstring) both remain out.

Wed Jan 2416:01Robert Covington To Be Re-Evaluated In 3-4 Weeks
The Philadelphia 76ers have announced that forward Robert Covington (knee) will be re-evaluated in approximately three-to-four weeks after receiving treatment over the past three weeks to address inflammation and bone bruising in his left knee. Covington last appeared for the Sixers on Dec. 30 but hasn't been a regular member of their rotation since landing in Philly from the Los Angeles Clippers via the James Harden trade on Halloween. RoCo is barely managing top-150 value in nine-category fantasy leagues on mere averages of 4.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.8 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals and doesn't need to be stashed. Nicolas Batum will continue to play considerable minutes and chip in as a small-ball five, and he is worth a look in deep category formats as a stabilizing presence.

Mon Jan 2207:13Robert Covington Remains Sidelined Monday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) will remain out of the lineup Monday versus San Antonio. Knee trouble will keep him off the court for a 10th consecutive game. Covington has made a minimal impact even when healthy this season, and his absence changes very little for the 76ers. The 33-year-old has averaged 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.8 minutes across 29 games.

Mon Jan 1510:03Robert Covington Remains Sidelined Monday
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) won't make his return from injury Monday against Houston. The former Rocket is nursing left knee inflammation and is forced to sit for a sixth consecutive game. Philadelphia also has a matchup against Denver coming up on Tuesday, meaning Covington's absence could quickly extend for another game. However, the 33-year-old hasn't played a very big role for the team this season, averaging only 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.8 minutes off the pine.

Wed Oct 25 202321:59Robert Covington Moves Into Starting Five
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's season opener versus the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran forward will shift into the starting unit with Terance Mann (ankle) sidelined for this game. Mann actually beat out Covington for the starting power forward job, but he'll miss this game due to an ankle injury. The Clippers haven't given a timetable for Mann's return, so Covington could be starting for some time. He could be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats while Mann is sidelined.

Tue Oct 17 202322:00Robert Covington To Come Off The Bench
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington will come off the bench during Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The Clippers will shake it up and move Nicolas Batum into the starting unit for this exhibition matchup. The expectation was that Covington would be the starting power forward on Opening Night. However, that could change with the Clippers having multiple options at the power forward spot. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on this situation as the regular season approaches.

Sat Oct 14 202309:08Robert Covington And Terance Mann Battle For Spot Among Starters
According to Law Murray of The Athletic, Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington and guard/forward Terance Mann are in the midst of a battle for a spot in the starting lineup. Marcus Morris Sr. (groin) has started in all 119 regular-season games he's played with the Clippers over the last two campaigns, but the franchise is now ready to move on from him. Covington himself looked like the odd man out late last season when he was completely dropped from the rotation, but he's a good defender and could add balance to a lineup full of scoring talent. Mann's presence would allow the Clippers to push the pace a lot more with a smaller lineup, and the 26-year-old hasn't previously disappointed as a starter, posting 11.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists last season in a starting role.

Sat Aug 12 202310:10Robert Covington Heading Into 2023-24 With "Vendetta"
Los Angeles Clippers forward/center Robert Covington is eager to produce a bounce-back campaign in 2023-24 after falling out of the rotation last season. "I got a vendetta. It's a bigger chip on my shoulder," Covington told Law Murray of The Athletic. "Not playing that much last year really put me in a place all right. I got to force them. So, come back, do what I got to do. They say this is the mentality of, you know, come back strong, get better. That way, it won't be none of that. Won't be no issues of, whatever the case. It's the way the year went. It wasn't how I expected, but I said it's come back, go to the drawing board, and get better." After being a productive player throughout his career, getting 11.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 1.5 steals, Covington has every reason to believe that he can still be a useful piece for an NBA team.

Tue Jan 31 202318:05Robert Covington Will Play Against Chicago
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington (personal) is available Tuesday against the Chicago Bulls. Covington missed the past two games with personal reasons but appears to have cleared things up as he's back with the team Tuesday. Covington had been playing well the past three games before sitting out and should be resuming his normal role off the bench. Nicolas Batum, Amir Coffey and Luke Kennard should see a dip in minutes.

Sun Jan 29 202316:24Robert Covington Remains Out On Sunday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington (personal) won't play against the Cavaliers, marking his second consecutive absence. LA will also be without Paul George (knee), Kawhi Leonard (knee), and John Wall (abdomen), so guys like Norman Powell, Ivica Zubac, and Terance Mann have streaming value. At the same time, Marcus Morris Sr. (ribs) and Luke Kennard (calf) could also benefit, although both are questionable.

Thu Nov 3 202218:43Robert Covington Ruled Out For Friday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington (health and safety protocols) will miss his fourth game in a row now. That's announced at the same time as Kawhi Leonard (injury management) also being ruled out for his seventh missed game of the season. With Covington out, Luke Kennard and Nicolas Batum will likely take on those vacated minutes in the rotation. Both of them could be decent streaming options as they take on the San Antonio Spurs.

Mon Oct 31 202218:23Robert Covington Ruled Out On Monday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Houston Rockets. Covington remains in health and safety protocols, so he could very well miss Wednesday's contest as well. Possibly, Covington gets back on the court for Friday, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see. In the meantime, Amir Coffey and Nicolas Batum will split up the extra playing time. Batum is the better streaming option between the two players.

Sat Oct 29 202223:42Robert Covington Now Out On Sunday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington (illness) won't play against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 31-year-old had been listed as doubtful with a non-COVID-related illness. However, he now finds himself sitting out due to health and safety protocols, so he'll likely miss some time moving ahead. With Kawhi Leonard (knee) also out, Marcus Morris Sr. is expected to enter the starting lineup on Sunday, where he could provide plenty of value for fantasy managers.

Sat Oct 29 202221:15Robert Covington Unlikely To Play Versus Pelicans
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington (illness) isn't expected to suit up on Sunday versus the Pelicans. He doesn't have COVID, which is good news, so assuming he sits out, he could be back on Monday versus the Rockets. Kawhi Leonard (knee) won't play, so Norman Powell, Nicolas Batum, and Luke Kennard could see extra minutes. However, all three are equally risky options for fantasy managers.

Sat Oct 1 202201:47Robert Covington Scores 13 Points In Preseason Win
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington received 10 minutes off the bench during the preseason win over Maccabi Ra'anana on Friday evening. He looked good, finishing with 13 points, three rebounds, two steals, and shot 66% from deep. After being traded by Portland to L.A. ahead of the deadline last season, Covington finished the year by averaging 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.2 blocks while draining 45.0% of his attempts from downtown. He is one of the most well-round players in the league, although his lack of regular minutes won't do him any favors on the fantasy end. However, Covington should undoubtedly get attention from managers in deep category formats heading into the 2022-23 campaign, especially since he may get more work as the season progresses.

Over 23 games with the Clips, he logged 22.1 minutes per contest while averaging 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.

Sat Apr 2 202211:23Robert Covington Sets New Career High With 43-Point Outing
LA Clippers power forward/center Robert Covington enjoyed the best offensive night of his career during Friday's win over the Bucks, as he dropped a career-best 43 points. After coming off the bench in his 18 appearances with the Clippers, Covington stepped into a starting role due to widespread absences (for both teams) Friday; he used that opportunity to drill a career-high 11 threes across his 46 minutes, adding eight rebounds, three blocks, two assists, and two steals to his gargantuan stat line. Since joining LA, Covington has shot 46.1% percent from behind the arc, reclaiming some of his prior season-long value, particularly in category formats due to his all-around production. It's unclear if he'll get the chance to carry such an offensive role again, but his next time out comes Sunday vs. New Orleans.

Thu Mar 24 202220:35Robert Covington Earns Questionable Tag For Friday’s Game
LA Clippers power forward/center Robert Covington (hand) has been tagged as questionable to play in Friday's contest vs. Philadelphia due to a right hand sprain. Covington sustained the ailment during Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, a contest in which he knocked down four triples for the second straight outing. The veteran has scored in double figures in seven of his 15 games since joining the Clippers, emerging as a solid bench contributor after years of primarily starting. An absence from Covington would pave the way for Nicolas Batum and Isaiah Hartenstein to play larger frontcourt roles.
