Nick Nurse Returns to the Philadelphia 76ers

Former Raptors Coach Rejoins Team for Second Stint

Nurse Led Raptors to NBA Championship in 2019

The Philadelphia 76ers announced today that Nick Nurse has been named the team's new head coach. Nurse, who previously coached the 76ers from 2013 to 2018, returns to the team after a successful stint with the Toronto Raptors, where he led the team to their first NBA championship in 2019.

Nurse is a highly respected coach known for his innovative offensive and defensive schemes. He is also known for his ability to develop players, having helped several Raptors stars reach their full potential.

The 76ers are hoping that Nurse can bring the same success to Philadelphia that he did in Toronto. The team has been struggling in recent years, failing to make it past the second round of the playoffs since 2001.

Nurse is excited to return to the 76ers and is confident that he can help the team turn things around. "I'm thrilled to be back in Philadelphia," said Nurse. "This is a great city with a passionate fan base. I'm looking forward to getting started and helping this team achieve its goals."
