The most important injury concern for the Timberwolves heading into the second round of the playoffs might not even involve a player.
Head coach Chris Finch had to be helped to the locker room at the end of the Timberwolves’ 122-116 Game 4 win in Phoenix over the Suns on Sunday night after an unfortunate collision with Mike Conley.
While dribbling up court near the sideline and Minnesota’s bench, Conley was bumped by Devin Booker and was sent careening into Finch, who crumpled to the floor in obvious pain.
“He’s obviously in good spirits and so are the guys,” assistant coach Micah Nori, who directed the team for the final 1:41, said after the game.
Sunday’s win secured a series sweep for the Timberwolves — their first in franchise history.
Now, their greatest concern will be their head coach’s health.
“I told him to sit his (butt) down — he shouldn’t be standing up like that late in the game,” Conley said. “He’s in the way. But prayers up for him, I’m sure he’ll be fine.”
