The Toronto Raptors don’t appear to be in any rush to hire their next head coach after the firing of Nick Nurse, but the rival Philadelphia 76ers appear to be moving as fast as possible as they try to find a replacement for Doc Rivers. Nick Nurse remains near the very top of their list.
Philly’s initial list of coaches included past champions like Nurse, Mike Budenholzer, and Frank Vogel. With Joel Embiid about to turn 30 years old, Daryl Morey is seeking someone with multiple years of proven success in this league as the next coach for this aging roster.
