PHOENIX -- Robert Covington has insisted the right knee that caused him to miss a game against Portland on Dec. 9 is fine.
Coach Tom Thibodeau also said Covington is fine physically.
Covington’s short absence knocked him off a rhythm that had Covington playing at a high level and that could be one reason why the Wolves’ defense slacked on their 0-4 road trip that ended with a 107-99 loss to Phoenix on Saturday at Talking Stick Resort Arena.
“He’s fine in terms of health but when you’re out for five days you’re out of rhythm,” Thibodeau said.
