The Houston Rockets are deep into their head coaching search as they have brought in several candidates, including big names like Ime Udoka and Frank Vogel. The Rockets also plan on bringing in Rockets legend Sam Cassell for an interview Sunday.
One name that has been floating around since the Rockets decided not to exercise the fourth year of Stephen Silas contract has been Nick Nurse. However, the Rockets hadn't brought in Nurse for an interview because he was still under contract with the Toronto Raptors. Well, that all changed with today's news.
Nick Nurse is out as Raptors coach, sources tell ESPN.
