The Toronto Raptors were already dealing with enough tough decisions this offseason, as the uncertainty surrounding Masai Ujiri, Kyle Lowry, and the No. 4 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft was a lot to swallow for Nick Nurse. Losing Sergio Scariolo was another kick in the head, but Nurse didn’t leave the post vacant for long, as he brought Australian Trevor Gleeson into the fold.

Scariolo was named the head coach of Virtus Bologna in his native Italy, making him the fourth Raptors assistant in the last 12 months to leave the team.
