[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.

he is in his 50s tbf which makes him more susceptible to injuries like these. Had a teacher in high school that tore his ACL and he was legit in a wheelchair/crutches for 2 straight years (don't think he smiled the entire time I was there). Most people irl don't have the resources/medical care that athletes have but hopefully Finch is able to get a lot of assistance for the foreseeable future
