LOS ANGELES—Toronto Raptors coach Nick Nurse has rejoined his team in Los Angeles after the death of his 94-year-old mother.
Nurse says his mother, Marcella Nurse, died Monday in Iowa, where he was born in the city of Carroll.
He plans to coach Tuesday night against the Clippers and Wednesday at Golden State before returning to Iowa.
“I’m here because my mother wouldn’t want it any other way,” Nurse said before the game.
