While the Philadelphia 76ers reportedly have a handful of names on their list to replace Doc Rivers as head coach, former Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse was the first one to reportedly have an interview set up with the team. With a 2019 NBA championship listed on his resume, Nurse is unsurprisingly drawing plenty of interest in a market that seems to have a high number of contenders or near-contenders shaking things up at the end of the bench.
Today, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that Nurse is one of three finalists for the Milwaukee Bucks’ available position, after they parted ways with 2021 champion head coach Mike Budenholzer.
