Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch has agreed on a four-year contract extension that will take him through the 2027-28 season, sources told ESPN on Monday.
Finch has delivered the Timberwolves to three consecutive playoff appearances for the first time in 20 years and has accelerated 2020 No. 1 overall pick Anthony Edwards’ growth into one of the league’s most prodigious talents.
On the way to the Western Conference finals — where Minnesota lost in five games to Dallas — Finch suffered a ruptured right patellar tendon after point guard Mike Conley collided into Finch on the sideline in a Game 4 victory over Phoenix in the opening round. Finch had surgery and needed his top assistant Micah Nori to do the standing on the sideline for the rest of the playoffs.
