Over an up and down and down again shooting season, Robert Covington quietly made himself into one of the NBA’s premier wing defenders, but now he’s done.
It’s a classic Sixers situation:
Somehow, Covington and Embiid having the same injury makes me feel a little better about both of their recoveries. If neither comes back at 100% the Sixers are taking a huge step back, and we’ve had enough of those. There’s no reason they shouldn’t be able to fully recover. Okafor is also out for the year, but whatever.
