The wait is over! On Saturday afternoon, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Toronto Raptors would hire Darko Rajakovic as the franchise’s next head coach. Rajakovic’s resume includes head coaching for the NBA G League, and assistant gigs in Oklahoma City and Phoenix before his most recent gig with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Toronto took their time picking a new candidate, and as of last week had multiple candidates in the final round along with Rajakovic. It was reported that Toronto was also considering Sergio Scariolo, Charles Lee, and Kenny Atkinson.
Yet, it was Darko who stood out and became the choice for Masai Ujiri and Bobby Webster.
