Timberwolves' Lingering Decision on Chris Finch Should Take Nick Nurse Timeout Debacle Into Account

On Wednesday, Minnesota Timberwolves assistant coach Micah Nori told assembled media that head coach Chris Finch's knee surgery had gone well and the team is considering their options on where he'll be for Game 1 of their second-round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets. Finch suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee after a collision with point guard Mike Conley in the Wolves' series-clinching win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday.

Due to the surgery, Finch will need special accommodations to remain on the sideline. Per The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski, Minnesota is considering trying to fit Finch in near the bench by moving some chairs around.
