BREAKING: Nick Nurse will be hired by the Philadelphia 76ers to be their next head coach, a source confirmed to NBCSPhilly.
He compiled a 227-163 record in his Toronto tenure, with his greatest accomplishment coming in his first year when the Raptors won the NBA championship. That playoff run, of course, included a buzzer-beating second-round win in Game 7 over the Sixers. Philadelphia got its revenge against Nurse in the 2022 playoffs, defeating Toronto 4-2 in the first round.
Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey has prior experience with Nurse, who he hired to be the Houston Rockets' G-League coach back in 2011. The Sixers fired Doc Rivers after three seasons following their second-round loss to the Boston Celtics.
