The Toronto Raptors have suffered some huge losses on the coaching staff over the last few years. Nick Nurse has had to watch assistants like Nate Bjorkgren and Chris Finch leave Toronto’s sideline in order to take head coaching spots in Indiana and Minnesota, respectively, and they even lost Jama Mahlalela to a lateral move with the Golden State Warriors.
Steve Kerr completely overhauled his coaching staff, making former Nets head coach and Clippers assistant Kenny Atkinson a top assistant while also bringing in Mahlalela.
