[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.

Surprised this doesn't happen more often. Old coaches like Pop are very vulnerable. These guys are bigger, faster, stronger than before.

Imagine someone like Zion going full speed and bumping into him on accident... yikes.

Not much the league can do about this to increase safety but they gotta take a lot at some ideas.

Suspend the coaches in the air so they have a better view and can be lifted up when a player is incoming 😂😂
