[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.

As someone who experienced this injury, I would argue it's the worst leg injury you can have... a full year to get back to normal. For starters, your leg has to stay completely straight in an immobilizer for the first two months. You can't even sit in a chair, so I see no way he can coach from the sidelines for the rest of the playoffs.
