BREAKING: Former Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse has been hired by the Philadelphia 76ers, per reports by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, The Athletic and The Associated Press.
Head coach Nick Nurse, seen in March in a Raptors game, has been hired by the Philadelphia 76ers after being let go by Toronto following the 2022-2023 season, per reports.
The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Monday because the team had not announced the move, which was also reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski and The Athletic. Nurse will replace Doc Rivers, who was fired after he led the 76ers to their second straight 50-win season behind NBA MVP Joel Embiid but again failed to lead them to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Nurse, who also serves as Canada's men's basketball team head coach, was fired from the Raptors after losing in the play-in tournament to the Chicago Bulls in April.
