Scary Moment As Timberwolves Coach Collides With Player, Stays Down

There was a pause in the Minnesota Timberwolves versus Phoenix Suns game on Sunday. Timberwolves head coach Chris Fench was hit by his own player in Mike Conley and took a hard fall. 

The stadium went quiet, wondering what happened, in terms of a potential injury with Finch. Eventually, the Timberwolves team surrounded Finch to share some support, and members of the staff helped him up. 

It seemed like a leg injury plagued Finch. An update on how he's feeling or the true extent of the injury has yet to be revealed. Finch may have gotten hit by a player, but his emotions should be high with a Timberwolves sweep of the Suns.
