It’s been just a little over a month since the Timberwolves traded Robert Covington to the Houston Rockets in a 12-player, four-team trade, and Tuesday will be the first time Covington faces off against his former team.
In some ways, it feels as though the Timberwolves parted with Covington at least a season ago. And in others, it’s still incomprehensible to see Covington playing in anything but a Timberwolves jersey.
We’re talking about a guy who only played 70 games with the Wolves. How could a player who’s never been named an All-Star impact a franchise and its fans in such a short amount of time?
