The Philadelphia 76ers are excited to welcome the newest member of their franchise, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
ESPN Sources: Nick Nurse has reached an agreement to become the next coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. Nurse — who won an NBA championship and a coach of year award with Toronto — now gets to coach the 2023 MVP Joel Embiid.
The move comes two weeks after the 76ers were eliminated from the playoffs by the Boston Celtics. Philadelphia subsequently fired Doc Rivers after failing to get past the Eastern Conference Semifinals in each of the past three seasons.
