The Minnesota Timberwolves’ head coach, Chris Finch, demonstrated the epitome of dedication by appearing at the Dallas Mavericks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves Game 4 despite nursing a ligament injury in his right leg. In his first appearance since the injury, Finch not only made a significant impact but also received a technical foul. Following the game, he explained that it was a strategic move to motivate his players.
“I mean, listen, I took over the huddles simply because I was able to do that now. I’m able to get up and stay in front of them. I’m still not able to be up on the sidelines, just because of safety reasons. But yeah, I was wanting to make sure that the team’s gonna fight, and I’m gonna fight for them. And I’m gonna make sure we’re trying to get everything we can out there,” Finch told Athletic.
Finch’s injury occurred when Finch collided with Mike Conley on the sideline during a game against the Phoenix Suns in April. He was advised by his doctors to rest. Yet, the Timberwolves coach stayed actively involved to support his team vocally during Game 4 against the Mavericks.
Then, his technical foul came after Minnesota’s forward Karl-Anthony Towns earned his fifth foul for a play involving PJ Washington. Meanwhile, Finch was unable to restrain himself at that time. He then rushed onto the court to argue with the referees, which resulted in a technical foul.
