Nick Nurse has been appointed the new head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, a league source has told CNN Sport.
Head coach of the Raptors from 2018 to 2023, the 55-year-old Nurse is regarded as one of the most talented minds in the NBA and was highly sought after following his exit from the Toronto team. Former Sixers head coach Doc Rivers was relieved of his duties following a disappointing second-round exit against the Boston Celtics.
Nurse spent many years coaching in the British Basketball League and won two BBL championships, as well as winning coach of the year twice. Once he had nurtured his coaching skills, Nurse returned to the US and impressed during stints at the D-League franchises, Iowa Energy and Rio Grande Valley Vipers. The Raptors then picked up the Iowa native, where he served as an assistant from 2013-2018 before landing the head coach gig.
