Philadelphia 76ers: A Look at Nick Nurse’s Coaching Staff

Nick Nurse has finalized his coaching staff.

On Tuesday, the Philadelphia 76ers announced the official hires for Nick Nurse’s coaching staff ahead of the 2023-2024 NBA season.

Following a three-year run with Doc Rivers as the head coach, the Sixers moved on after another disappointing exit in the second round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.

After going on a multi-week search for a replacement, the Sixers focused on roughly seven candidates. Nurse headlined the list as he wrapped up a ten-year stint with the Toronto Raptors.

After considering several candidates, Daryl Morey and the Sixers decided to announce Nurse as the next head coach of the 76ers. 

With a key change at the top of the coaching staff came key changes across the board. A few weeks before training camp begins, the Sixers make their coaching staff official.
