Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) will remain unavailable on Saturday versus Memphis. He hasn't seen any game action in 2024 and last played on December 30th.

Nicolas Batum and Kenyon Martin Jr. have picked up extra minutes at the forward positions with Covington out. The two could get even more action on Saturday as Tobias Harris (knee) is listed as questionable.

He's dealing with a bone bruise on his left knee and hasn't taken the court since Dec. 30. It's unclear when Covington will be available again.

Robert Covington Will Remain Sidelined Against Mavericks
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) hasn't played at all since the turn of the new year and that streak will continue as the team has ruled him out again for the Monday night contest against the Dallas Mavericks. He wasn't able to participate in practice either while Nick Nurse mentioned there's "not much light at the end of that tunnel," in regards to when he'll be back. There still isn't an official timetable, so only time will tell if he's able to return anytime soon or not. Marcus Morris Sr. and Kenyon Martin Jr. will continue to see minutes in the power forward spot while Covington and Nicolas Batum (hamstring) both remain out.
The Philadelphia 76ers have announced that forward Robert Covington (knee) will be re-evaluated in approximately three-to-four weeks after receiving treatment over the past three weeks to address inflammation and bone bruising in his left knee. Covington last appeared for the Sixers on Dec. 30 but hasn't been a regular member of their rotation since landing in Philly from the Los Angeles Clippers via the James Harden trade on Halloween. RoCo is barely managing top-150 value in nine-category fantasy leagues on mere averages of 4.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 0.8 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals and doesn't need to be stashed. Nicolas Batum will continue to play considerable minutes and chip in as a small-ball five, and he is worth a look in deep category formats as a stabilizing presence.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) will remain out of the lineup Monday versus San Antonio. Knee trouble will keep him off the court for a 10th consecutive game. Covington has made a minimal impact even when healthy this season, and his absence changes very little for the 76ers. The 33-year-old has averaged 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.8 minutes across 29 games.
Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington (knee) won't make his return from injury Monday against Houston. The former Rocket is nursing left knee inflammation and is forced to sit for a sixth consecutive game. Philadelphia also has a matchup against Denver coming up on Tuesday, meaning Covington's absence could quickly extend for another game. However, the 33-year-old hasn't played a very big role for the team this season, averaging only 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 16.8 minutes off the pine.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's season opener versus the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran forward will shift into the starting unit with Terance Mann (ankle) sidelined for this game. Mann actually beat out Covington for the starting power forward job, but he'll miss this game due to an ankle injury. The Clippers haven't given a timetable for Mann's return, so Covington could be starting for some time. He could be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats while Mann is sidelined.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington will come off the bench during Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The Clippers will shake it up and move Nicolas Batum into the starting unit for this exhibition matchup. The expectation was that Covington would be the starting power forward on Opening Night. However, that could change with the Clippers having multiple options at the power forward spot. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on this situation as the regular season approaches.
