In a collision on the sidelines during Game 4 of his team’s Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night, head coach Chris Finch of the Minnesota Timberwolves seemed to have suffered a knee injury.
Late in the fourth quarter, Timberwolves player Mike Conley was dribbling the ball down the floor. Near the sideline, where Devin Booker was defending him, he ended up running into Finch.

Finch fell to his knees, grabbing his right one at once. Players from the Timberwolves gathered around Finch, who started getting some medical attention.
With 1:41 remaining and his side leading 117-113, the coach was ultimately assisted off the court.
