Leaving Nick Nurse still available, Bucks appear set to hire Adrian Griffin as head coach

The Philadelphia 76ers fired Doc Rivers and have a list of six coaching candidates they’ll thoroughly vet to fill their vacancy.

We ranked the six candidates they’re looking at, including Mike Budenholzer, Frank Vogel, Mike D’Antoni, Nick Nurse, Monty Williams, and Sam Cassell.

The Sixers interviewed former Lakers, title-winning head coach, Frank Vogel already.

But fans who really want the team to hire Nick Nurse were cautious that the title-winning former Raptors coach would sign with the rival Bucks. Coaching Giannis Antetokounmpo is a pretty attractive proposition. So it came as little surprise when it was reported Nurse was a finalist for that opening.
