The Trail Blazers placed Covington in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
He's one of five Portland players to enter the league protocol since Christmas Eve, joining Dennis Smith, Trendon Watford, Keljin Blevins and Ben McLemore. Unless he tests out of protocol early, Covington will likely miss multiple games, starting with Monday's tilt against the Mavericks.
