The re-acquisition of Robert Covington has been huge for the Houston Rockets, but there was a time he thought his playing days were over.
It took the Houston Rockets a while to come around on what Robert Covington could add to the team. After they gave him his first shot in the NBA in 2013-14, he only appeared in seven games before being waived. After vastly improving in Philadelphia in Minnesota, the Rockets got their guy back this season when they sent Clint Capela off for the 3-and-D specialist.
