Timberwolves coach Chris Finch is set to have knee surgery Wednesday to repair a ruptured right patellar tendon.
The Wolves open their NBA Western Conference semifinal series in Denver on Saturday, and the team is still figuring out how Finch could help coach from near the bench area, a source said Tuesday.
Finch, 54, will have surgery to repair the injury, which he suffered in the fourth quarter of the Wolves' win at Phoenix on Sunday night as they closed out their first round series. Wolves point guard Mike Conley collided with Finch after Suns guard Devin Booker shoved Conley out of bounds.
