Likely done for season
Philadelphia head coach Nick Nurse said Sunday that Covington (knee) isn't expected to play again this season, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Though Nurse's announcement isn't official, Covington hasn't made enough progress in his recovery program from a bone bruise in his left knee for a return during the 76ers' postseason run to look realistic. Covington closed the regular season with just 29 appearances to his name, with none coming after Dec. 30. He averaged 4.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 0.8 assists, 0.7 three-pointers and 0.6 blocks in 16.8 minutes per contest.

After multiple top-50 seasons, Covington was basically an afterthought last year, putting up career-low numbers across the board. He was used sparingly off the bench, logging just 16.2 minutes per game, finishing with averages of just 6.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 combined steals and blocks. Often viewed as a player who flew under the radar, Covington actually fell off the radar entirely. Given he is almost 33 years of age, it's hard to see him turning things around moving forward. Looking at the current roster, there is even a chance he will fall out of the rotation altogether. He is not worth drafting outside of very deep formats at this point. However, he would only need minutes in the low 20s to sniff value, at least as a defensive streaming option.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Might be traded before deadline
Covington is one of several players who could be traded away from Philadelphia before Thursday's deadline, Brian Windhorst of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Sixers are expected to make at least one trade before Thursday's deadline, and while they have some draft assets to move, some of their fringe rotation players might also be included in a package for salary-matching purposes. Covington has struggled to see minutes of late due to a knee injury, and he doesn't figure to be part of Philly's long-term plans. He's averaging just 16.8 minutes per game this season.
