The Wolves wrapped up preseason play on Thursday night against the Bucks in Milwaukee.
Back in Minneapolis on Friday morning, the team was back at practice.
A standout for the Wolves in their last two preseason games has been Robert Covington. There’s been a lot of talk about the Wolves playing smaller this season with Covington playing primarily the 4 spot.
In the last two games, Covington had 31 total rebounds.
“That’s obviously encouraging to us,” coach Ryan Saunders said. “We know we’re going to need that, especially when we’re playing smaller.”
It’s probably unfair to expect Covington to average 15 rebounds a contest, but it is encouraging that he’s at least capable of it.
