ROBERT COVINGTON NEWS

Catches fire from three Covington supplied 27 points (9-10 FG, 7-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and three steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 141-132 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Covington had his best game of the season. He set season highs in points and made triples. The Clippers' power forward got a slight boost in minutes with Kawhi Leonard (personal reasons) out. He also benefited from Russell Westbrook and Bones Hyland's playmaking, as eight of Covington's nine made shots were assisted by the two Clipper guards. Despite the outburst, Covington has only played in 44 games this season and isn't a reliable option.

Rare appearance in tough loss Covington logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and three steals over 23 minutes during Saturday's 113-108 loss to the Magic.

Impact Covington saw playing time for the first time in almost two weeks, as he was called upon with Kawhi Leonard (right knee injury management) given the night off. While Covington was able to rack up 11 points to go with three steals, given he had not even been in the rotation prior to Saturday, there is no reason to pursue him on the fantasy waiver wire.

Robert Covington gives Clippers something to think about as they tumble down the standings Covington's return to the Clippers' rotation sparked a late-game rally in Sacramento that fell short. But it might be a sign for the future.

Will suit up against Chicago Covington (personal) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Bulls, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Covington has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing the previous two games due to personal reasons. With Marcus Morris (ribs) out, Covington will likely receive extended minutes against Chicago.

Questionable Tuesday Covington (personal) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bulls, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Covington has missed two consecutive contests due to personal reasons but has a chance at playing Tuesday. If he does return, he could be in line for more minutes if Marcus Morris (ribs) sits.

Still out Sunday Covington (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Covington will miss back-to-back games due to personal reasons. His next chance to suit up will arrive Tuesday in Chicago. Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (knee) are also out, while Luke Kennard (calf), Reggie Jackson (Achilles) and Marcus Morris (ribs) are questionable, so the Clippers are in danger of being extremely shorthanded against Cleveland.

Out Saturday Covington is out Saturday against the Hawks due to a personal matter, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Covington has made his way back into the rotation lately, appearing in nine straight games and averaging 5.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks in 18.2 minutes. However, his streak of appearances will end Saturday. In his absence, coach Tyronn Lue could give more minutes to Amir Coffey and Nicolas Batum.

Turns back clock in win Covington posted 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and two steals over 21 minutes during Thursday's 138-100 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Covington was feeling nostalgic in the win, delivering easily his best performance of the season. Don't look now, but Covington has played at least 19 minutes in three consecutive games, serving up a combined 12 steals and blocks. While there is no certainly about his role moving forward, he could very well be worth a flier for anyone desperate for defensive production.

Uptick in minutes Sunday Covington produced three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 21 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Covington logged at least 20 minutes for the first time in more than a week and chipped in across the board. It's hard to get a good read on his exact role, given his playing seems to fluctuate wildly from one game to the next. With so much uncertainty, it's hard to treat him as anything more than a potential defensive streaming option.

JANUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check Tuesday Covington supplied no points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over seven minutes during Tuesday's 120-110 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Covington had played double-digit minutes in five of the Clippers' last six games and recorded at least eight points and five rebounds in each of those appearances. However, he saw decreased playing time Tuesday and could not generate much production. As long as the Clippers are at full strength in the frontcourt, Covington isn't guaranteed to see meaningful minutes regularly.

Strong performance in loss Covington produced 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and three steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 128-115 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Covington had his best game of the season Friday, taking advantage of the fact the Clippers were without a couple of key pieces. While he obviously still has the ability to contribute on both ends of the floor, he literally isn't an every-night part of the rotation. He is a player to keep an eye on moving forward, although based on how he is currently being used, there is little reason to think he will move into the standard league discussion any time soon.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Outside of rotation Covington (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Tuesday's 124-113 win over the Raptors.

Impact Covington hasn't gotten off the bench in any of the Clippers' last three games and appears to have ceded the backup center role to Nicolas Batum, who has settled in as a stretch-five option when Ivica Zubac is off the floor. With the Clippers at full health both on the wing and in the frontcourt, Covington doesn't look as though he'll have a chance to reclaim a rotation spot anytime soon.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Does little with playing time Covington accumulated five points (2-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal over 19 minutes during Wednesday's 99-88 victory over the Timberwolves.

Impact Covington didn't appear in the previous two games, and his showing Wednesday doesn't exactly position him for more playing time moving forward. In addition to minimal output, Covington turned the ball over twice and picked up four fouls in 19 minutes of action. While Covington's per-36 numbers on the year are worthy of rostership in deeper formats, he doesn't play consistently enough to warrant usage in most leagues.

DECEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Additional run in loss Wednesday Covington finished with eight points (3-9 FG, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 loss to Utah.

Impact Covington played a season-high 23 minutes in the loss but failed to make the most of the opportunity. Despite his defensive upside, Covington has been in and out of the rotation this season, currently averaging just 15.2 minutes per game. He is well outside the top 200 in fantasy, making him nothing more than a very deep league streaming consideration.

Light role in return Covington (illness) played six minutes off the bench in Sunday's 110-102 loss to the Jazz, recording one assist, two fouls and no other statistics.

Impact Covington was back in action after missing the previous four games with an illness, but he was barely able to capture a spot in the rotation. With all of Kawhi Leonard (knee), John Wall (rest) and Luke Kennard (chest) likely in line to sit Monday against the Cavaliers in the second half of the back-to-back set, Covington could see a slight uptick in playing time, but probably not enough to make him a useful DFS lineup piece or streaming option in season-long leagues.

Good to go Sunday Covington (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against Utah, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Covington missed the previous four games due to an illness and subsequent conditioning issues, but he'll be back to availability off the bench for the first time since Oct. 27. Early on, Covington has been seeing roughly 15-to-20 minutes off the bench. In that role, he's still capable of providing lower-end steals and blocks, but he's not seeing enough minutes to justify starting in most fantasy leagues.

Questionable to face Jazz Covington (illness) has been listed as a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Covington has missed four straight games due to a non-COVID illness, and it seems his inclusion will only be decided a few minutes prior to tip-off. The veteran would improve the depth at both forward spots for the Clippers, especially with names such as Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Luke Kennard (chest) being ruled out already.

Impact Covington will miss his fourth straight game due to a non-COVID illness and will have Kawhi Leonard (knee) joining him as out for the contest. With Covington out, Amir Coffey and Moses Brown will continue to see more run. Covington's next opportunity to play comes Sunday against Utah.
