Chris Finch out for Timberwolves' game against Cavaliers

Coach 'isn't feeling well' and Micah Nori will handle coaching duties in his place.

Timberwolves coach Chris Finch isn't feeling well and will not coach in Friday night's game at the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team announced just before tipoff. Assistant coach Micah Nori will handle the head coaching duties. 

Finch hasn't missed a game yet this season and didn't miss any the past two seasons, his first two full seasons as the Timberwolves' head coach. He has a 268-148 record all-time as a head coach, all with Minnesota.

It's been a trying stretch for the Timberwolves, who recently lost star forward Karl-Anthony Towns to a meniscus injury. Towns is reportedly going to undergo a surgery to repair the meniscus and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. 

Meanwhile, Anthony Edwards was listed as questionable for Friday's game, however, is in the starting lineup in Cleveland. Monte Morris was ruled out before the game due to hamstring soreness.
