Raptors head to the final stage of their head coach search

A new head coach for the Raptors may be on board sooner rather than later.

Multiple NBA sources say the franchise is moving to a second round of interviews for the job that became vacant when Nick Nurse was let go last month after five seasons.

One source said Raptors vice chairman and president Masai Ujiri has narrowed the list of candidates to three and final interviews are being scheduled, although that number was not independently confirmed.

Names of the finalists were not available but, after casting a wide net through every level of coaching candidates around the world, it appears Ujiri and general manager Bobby Webster are close to a hire.
