Robert Covington will miss his 27th consecutive game Tuesday with a stubborn bone bruise in his knee, while Luol Deng has also been ruled out for a third straight game with a sore Achilles.
It's not quite right to say the Wolves have missed both players equally, but both absences have been felt and will continue to be felt against Oklahoma City as the Wolves return to Target Center trying to snap a three-game losing streak.
Since acquiring him in November as part of the Jimmy Butler trade, the Wolves are 12-15 this when Covington hasn't been able to play, including a single game he missed in December.
