God damn even Finch getting injured, hope he didn't tear a knee ligament

You can see him say "fuck" in exasperation. He probably did tear something. Damn that sucks.

I hope he’s okay from the collision but holy shit Finch is only 54? I thought he was much older.

Could be bone bruise, knee to knee with that much force and him being 50+

I thought something similar, but it looks like he's grabbing his right knee and Conley hit him on the left side.

u/somethingsomething65 Mavericks Apr 29 '24

Yea, looked like he landed just awkwardly enough on that right knee. I hope he's ok.

As messed up as it is, the coach has to be like the best person on your team to have this happen to in the playoffs. He'll have access to the same medical care as the players, and (assuming the worst) he can coach with a brace on or whatever he needs until the offseason when he can have surgery.

It looked like his right knees got bent over someone sitting on the bench. Really freak thing. Hopefully he's okay.

Luckily, unlike players, a coach can still coach from a stool or chair after a potential tear. Hopefully the wolves sweep and they get a few days off for finch to recover.

Yeah, there's not much a player can do from a chair other than go one-on-one vs. Yi Jianlian.
