The rivalry between the Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers just went to a new level.
According to ESPN.com NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, former Raptors head coach Nick Nurse has agreed to replace Doc Rivers as Philadelphia’s head coach.
Nurse was let go by the Raptors late last month and has been in the conversation for every high-profile coach opening in the league. He and Rivers were seen as finalists for the still vacant Phoenix job, and Nurse also had an interview with the Milwaukee Bucks, who hired former Toronto assistant Adrian Griffin on the weekend.
