Timberwolves Extend Coach Chris Finch's Contract

The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to a four-year contract extension with head coach Chris Finch, securing his position through the 2027-28 season. Finch, who led the Timberwolves to a 56-26 record this past season—the second-best in franchise history—also guided the team to the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2004. Finch holds a 160-127 record with a .557 winning percentage, the best in franchise history, and has led the team to three consecutive playoff appearances. Notably, Finch coached from the sidelines with a ruptured patellar tendon during the playoffs. The Timberwolves' front office praised Finch for his ability to create a strong team culture and improve the team's performance each year.
