Before every game, interim coach Ryan Saunders runs through updates on an ever-growing list of injured players.
Like Friday’s game against Utah, the Wolves were down four players who would normally contribute if they were healthy — Robert Covington (right knee bone bruise), Tyus Jones (sprained left ankle), Jeff Teague (left foot injury) and Derrick Rose (right ankle injury).
Gorgui Dieng, who suffered a hip contusion Friday in Phoenix, was in the lineup Sunday.
Jones and Covington weren’t on the Wolves’ recent three-game trip, but Saunders said they were able to “ramp up” their activity level of late.
