PHOENIX — Minnesota coach Chris Finch has a ruptured patellar tendon in his right knee after a collision with Timberwolves guard Mike Conley in the fourth quarter of the team’s playoff win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night. Conley tried to brace their fall, but Finch grimaced and immediately grabbed his right knee. Nori said Finch was in the medical room getting checked out and that the team went down to see him after the game. Conley said he didn’t see Finch until the last moment and tried to hold him up following the collision.
