Sixers small forward Robert Covington underwent successful minor arthroscopic knee surgery on Tuesday to repair a meniscus tear, according to a press release from the team.
Covington will begin his rehabilitation in Philadelphia and will transition into “full weight-bearing” in two weeks. He’s expected to resume basketball related activities this summer.
CSN’s Jessica Camerato provided a little more insight:
Covington expects 4-6 weeks recovery but he was told could be sooner bc he's had head start on rehab.
