MINNEAPOLIS—The Minnesota Timberwolves will enter their second-round NBA playoff series against the defending champion Denver Nuggets with an unsettled bench—Coach Chris Finch will be recovering from knee surgery.
Mr. Finch, who was hurt in a sideline collision with Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley, will have his ruptured right patellar tendon repaired Wednesday, according to a person with knowledge of the plan. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the team had not yet made the details public. ESPN first reported the news.
