Nick Nurse will be the Toronto Raptors head coach for a little while longer, which is not new news. Over a month ago, September 15th to be exact, the franchise re-signed the 2019-20 NBA Coach of the Year to a multi-year contract.
The details of the deal aren’t publicly known, because of course, the Raptors are known to be a private, don’t leak anything, type of franchise. What we do know, from Shams Charania of The Athletic, is that Nurse’s deal pays him around $8 million per year. It will make him one of the highest paid bench bosses in the league, tied with the Mavericks‘ Rick Carlisle, and behind the likes of the Spurs’ Gregg Popovich, the league’s highest paid coach at $11 million per year, Steve Kerr of the Warriors at $9.
