MIAMI – Robert Covington sent his gratitude to the 76ers and Philadelphia on Monday morning on Instagram for allowing him to grow as a player there over the past four years.
That came two days after the team sent him, Dario Saric, Jerryd Bayless and a 2022 second-round pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Jimmy Butler and Justin Patton. The trade will become official Monday.
"Thru the ups and downs, I learned a lot here and y'all always had our back," Covington posted. "It's been a incredible journey and I definitely wouldn't change it for the world.
