Raptors' Nurse spending down time studying film. MORE:
While fishing and golfing have occupied the free time of many NBA players at Walt Disney World, Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse hasn't ventured far from his gym or his hotel room.
The Raptors play the Houston Rockets on Friday in their first of three scrimmages, and their first real action since their last game March 9 in Utah before the NBA shuttered two days later because of COVID-19. The Raptors open the eight-game seeding round versus the Los Angeles Lakers on Aug. 1. A basketball restart after a four-month layoff is unprecedented, and so the NBA has tweaked the rules for the first exhibition game for each team, going with 10-minute quarters instead of the regulation 12 minutes per quarter, according to an Associated Press report.
"Obviously having them there is kind of what we're used to. It feels good to have them," he said."Obviously we have people that, when things are not going how we want to, we can turn to, and they're there to make sure that everything fine."
