The Sixers have more strong wing options than they’ve had in years. So many, in fact, that a solid two-way forward like Robert Covington isn’t consistently in the team’s rotation at the moment.
Over the last three games, he’s only played 18 total minutes — not even getting on the floor at all against Atlanta last Friday. He was able to bounce back to a slightly better 14 minutes in the Sixers’ dominant 146-101 win against the Wizards on Monday. Marcus Morris, Sr. has generally surpassed him in the last three outings, though, playing 43 total minutes.
