The Toronto Raptors signed head coach Nick Nurse to a multi-year extension, the team announced on Tuesday.
In two seasons since being promoted from assistant to head coach, Nurse won a championship and earned Coach of the Year honours for guiding the Raptors to the second-best record in the league. His record through two seasons is 111-43, which also includes an impressive 23-12 mark in the playoffs. Those 23 wins already put him ahead of all other Raptors coaches for the most playoff wins in franchise history.
“Our confidence in Nick just continues to grow, and part of that comes from what we’ve experienced together,” Raptors president Masai Ujiri said in a statement.
