Minnesota Timberwolves guard Mike Conley won his second career NBA Teammate of the Year award on Wednesday, but one member of the organization joked it should be taken away because of a recent incident.
In the closing minutes of the Timberwolves' 122–116 win over the Phoenix Suns in Game 4 on Sunday, Conley crashed into coach Chris Finch after he was bumped out of bounds. Finch went down hard and suffered a torn patellar tendon in his right knee. He had to be helped off the court.
When Finch heard the news Wednesday about Conley being honored as the league's top teammate, he reached out with a witty quip.
