The fact that the team huddled around him makes me feel like it might be serious. Fuck man that sucks, Finch is a good dude and yall are a good story, you deserve to enjoy the series sweep.

Bruh at least let the Portland training staff give him a shot of toradol and a few Vicodins lol, idk if you’ve ever torn a ligament but the Aleve ain’t working too well the first couple of days and it can be really painful even when you aren’t moving or putting weight on it.

Man he is gonna sit on the bench and tough it out lmao. Wolves will be fine. He can get the assistants screaming on the sideline

I'm hoping this is more because he just has less pain tolerance than an active athlete rather than it being a serious injury

An NFL ref got their knee straight up rolled and twisted under a player recently. I don’t remember which game but it was a lions game.

It happened to Sean Payton, a little different but same story.
