76ers hire Nick Nurse as new head coach

The 76ers have found their next head coach.

After parting ways with Doc Rivers following Philadelphia’s second-round playoff exit against the Celtics, the team has reportedly agreed to terms with former Raptors head coach Nick Nurse, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Nurse was with Toronto from 2018 to ’23, but was fired after the ’22–23 NBA season. He spent the past 10 seasons with the Raptors, five as an assistant and five as a head coach including the ’19 campaign when he won a championship. He led the team for 390 games, amassing a 227–163 record.
