It was announced Friday morning that Head Coach Nick Nurse and the Toronto Raptors have parted ways. The team released a statement that Nurse has been “relieved of his duties as the team’s head coach.”
The decision comes after a tumultuous season for the Raptors as they lost in the Play-In Tournament after going 41-41 in the regular season. There had been rumblings of Nurse leaving the team late in the season when he made remarks to the media that it was a good time to re-evaluate this situation after ten years with the organization.
