The Toronto Raptors are willing to be very patient as they try to figure out who will replace Nick Nurse as head coach. Former Raptors assistant and highly decorated European coach Sergio Scariolo is near the top of the list.
According to Marc Stein, Kings assistant coach Jordi Fernandez is starting to fall out of the running in the Raptors’ ongoing quest for a coach. Scariolo, former Brooklyn Nets coach Kenny Atkinson, and Memphis Grizzlies assistant Darko Rakajovic are the three finalists for the job, with the former two ahead of the rest of the pack.
