It was a mixed bag of injury news at the Wolves’ shootaround today. Jeff Teague will likely be returning to the starting lineup tonight against the Magic after a nine-game absence but Robert Covington will miss extended time after an MRI revealed that he sustained a bone bruise on his knee in a late-game collision in New Orleans. Derrick Rose is still day-to-day.
The Wolves have had a run of injuries and they now have to deal with more bad luck after Covington’s diagnosis. Bone bruises are tricky, it’s hard to speculate how long exactly Covington will be out.
