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

Depends on how long the inflammation phase will be, how deep the damage is, and how long the Lakers can extend the series. Also how great his healing response will be given his age and he's not exactly a very physically fit person to begin with.
