San Antonio Spurs assistant coaches Ettore Messina and Ime Udoka interviewed with the Toronto Raptors for the franchise's head-coaching job on Thursday and Friday, respectively, league sources told ESPN.
Messina and Udoka each spent full days meeting with Raptors president Masai Ujiri and his staff, sources said.
The Raptors also have interviewed three internal candidates -- Nick Nurse, Rex Kalamian and G-League coach Jerry Stackhouse.
Nurse is considered the strongest internal choice, sources said.
Toronto fired Dwane Casey, the winningest coach in franchise history, earlier this month, despite a franchise-record 59 regular-season victories.
