The Timberwolves took care of one bit of business before the draft and free agency begin by signing coach Chris Finch to a four-year extension that will run through the 2027-28 season.
It marks the third contract Finch has signed since becoming head coach in February 2021. On Finch's watch, the Wolves have made the playoffs in three consecutive seasons and are coming off their first appearance in the Western Conference finals since 2004.
Financial terms were not disclosed. The NBA draft is Wednesday and Thursday before free agency negotiations start this weekend.
"I'd like to thank [owner] Glen [Taylor], Becky [Taylor], and the entire organization for their continued support and commitment to me and the team," Finch said in a statement.
