Timberwolves' Robert Covington healthy, both mentally and physically

Robert Covington is back and healthy.

And we're not just talking about the bone bruise in his knee that required surgery and forced him to the sideline after playing just 22 games for the Wolves.

We're talking healthy and happy.

On an otherwise by-the-numbers Timberwolves media day Monday, Covington capped the day off with, frankly, a compelling flash of honesty into just how difficult last season was.

That included dealing with the first major injury of his career, a process that included seeing a therapist to help with the frustration that ensued.

The biggest problem was that, at first, Covington didn't think his knee injury would be a big problem.
