It is reported that it will be done on Wednesday and it is not yet known if the specialist will be ready to be on the team’s bench in the first game of the conference semifinals against the Denver Nuggets.

It has already been announced that on the night of April 29, the Timberwolves led by Finch beat the Phoenix Suns 122-116 in the Western Conference quarterfinal match, celebrating their fourth win in a row and becoming the first team to advance to the next round.

In one episode of the game, the Timberwolves’ Mike Conley went behind the sideline after a duel with Devin Booker and, driven by inertia, crashed into Finch, who was unable to avoid contact. The coach could leave the field only with the help of assistants, while the initial forecasts did not look promising. As Shams Sharania reported, the doctors suspected a broken knee bone tendon, which was later confirmed.
