Sixers' Robert Covington will be out for the third straight game Saturday vs. the Heat with a bruised right hand.
Covington, who had been on a nice run prior to being sidelined, suffered the injury in the Sixers' home win over the Kings on Monday. The fourth-year swingman had averaged 16.6 points and eight rebounds per game while shooting 37 percent from three in his last seven contests.
Nerlens Noel (upper respiratory infection) and Jahlil Okafor (right knee soreness) are both probable. Richaun Holmes should be available.
Rookie big man Joel Embiid (left knee contusion) will be out Satuday in Miami and will also miss the team's game in Detroit on Monday.
