Chris Finch
December 2025

Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch has been fined 35,000 dollars for using inappropriate language toward officials and refusing to leave promptly after his ejection during the first quarter of a 112-107 home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Finch was hit with two technical fouls and tossed with 6:19 left in the opening period after protesting calls, and the NBA’s basketball operations chief James Jones later announced the substantial sanction as part of ongoing efforts to clamp down on verbal abuse of referees.
