EDGE Analysis

Covington shifted to the bench Wednesday for apparently being late to a team function. Despite the move, Covington had one of his better all-around games of the season. With no Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) on the floor, there were certainly more shots to go around. Covington soaked up his fair share, attempting 17, second only to Andrew Wiggins. Covington has been a source of frustration for many this season and the hope is that he can find some rhythm on the offensive end moving forward.
