Timberwolves coach Chris Finch reportedly tore his patellar tendon after colliding with Mike Conley
According to a report from The Athletic, Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch reportedly suffered a torn patellar tendon after colliding with Mike Conley on Sunday night.
Finch was helped off the field late in the fourth quarter against the Phoenix Suns.
Conley was trying to dribble down the sideline when he collided with Suns star Devin Booker and ran into Finch, who appeared to injure his right knee as Conley tried to break their fall. Finch grimaced and immediately grabbed his right knee.
He lay down for several minutes, surrounded by Minnesota players, coaches and staff, before slowly rising and being assisted off the field.
Minnesota won 122-116 swept the first-round series.
Assistant coach Micah Nori directed the team to the final 1:41. Nori said Finch was in the medical room getting checked out and the whole team came down to see him after the game.
“He’s obviously in good spirits and so are the guys,” Nori said.
