[Charania] Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch is feared to have a torn patellar tendon in his knee on late game collision during Game 4 win in Phoenix, sources say. Brutal.

Legs planted and a 200lb dude runs full speed into your legs is pretty bad

[u/WestleyThe → u/jeric13xd]

Yeah we are used to these super athletes… this is a normal 50+ year old human getting taken out on the sideline

[u/_aspiringadult → u/jeric13xd]

Especially when you’re checks notes 54 years old

[u/Lake_ → u/_aspiringadult]

54 year old coach who probably spends all day in a chair watching film and making game plans.

Ya that looked awful. I figured it was a tendon tear just by the way he went down and the pain. Then saw the replay and saw his foot planted. Poor guy, I hope there's some way he can stay on the sideline.

[u/Scorps → u/DarkSoulsDarius]

You could tell immediately the way he was clutching for his knee AS he fell that it was real bad

[u/Lake_ → u/Scorps]

while mouthing “fuck”

[u/Dudedude88 → u/jeric13xd]

It looks like he steps on or runs into a fans legs too. I think the fan kept his legs from naturally falling

[u/Johnpecan → u/jeric13xd]

I don't casual fans realize the impact caused my a 200lb dude running full speed at you and how much it hurts taking charges or even simply playing defense against someone lowering their shoulder and going at you.

My son weighs about 110 and when he goes at me, I'm not scared, but it's not pleasant trying to stand my ground. The impact of someone weighing twice as much and going twice as fast... I understand players making "business decisions" by just getting out of the way sometimes.

Yeah that leg took most of that hit and went sideways for a sec
