Although the Summer Olympics have been pushed back to 2021, the commitment from Canadian Men’s Basketball coach Nick Nurse remains the same.
Nurse spoke to reporters for the first time since the International Olympics Committee officially rescheduled the Tokyo Olympics to between July 23 and August 8th of 2021 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. He assured that him and his staff, comprised mostly of coaches from the Toronto Raptors, will represent the country when sports can safely resume.
“Hundred percent committed. I'm really looking forward to it, you know again just like hopes and prayers that things will be rolling by next summer when we're gonna be able to to go to Tokyo and play, you know, as I'm expecting,” Nurse said in a conference call with reporters on Friday.
