Chris Finch was at practice – on crutches and with his right leg heavily wrapped and in a brace – on Thursday, one day afterthat he suffered in Minnesota's Game 4 sweeping win over the Phoenix Suns on Sunday night.
"I think the initial pain medication that they gave him was starting to wear off from the surgery, so I think he was in immense pain," Timberwolves assistant coach Micah Nori told WCCO-AM 830's Chad Hartman."But I think that he doesn't show it. You ask him and he's 'I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.'" The plan, according to Nori, is for Finch to fly to Denver immediately after his medical appointment Friday morning and he isn't expected to miss anything important in the lead-up to Game 1 Saturday night.
Nori certainly sounded like he's preparing to be the top coach on the Timberwolves bench, noting that he doesn't think the league will allow Finch on the sidelines on crutches. Instead, he's hoping Finch gets a seat directly behind the bench.
