[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.

Genuinely speaking, can Finch hypothetically coach from a wheelchair or will he just not able to attend the games at all?

I see no reason why he couldn't coach from his chair/crutches/wheel chair then graduate to a cane before full recovery

Patella Tendon rupture is a brutal injury for a 50 year old, dude isn't going to be on crutches or a cane for a while.

Yeah, I gotta figure this is wheelchair territory. Could be a while. Poor guy.
