Under contract until 2024, Nick Nurse will he be the coach of the Toronto Raptors during the 2023-2024 financial year? The question is slowly starting to arise… This season has been difficult for the Canadians, only 9th in the Eastern Conference.
If the franchise can still have Play-in ambitions, a big run in the Playoffs seems unlikely. Due to much more competition in place in the East. And after 10 years in Toronto (first as an assistant), Nurse wants to reflect on her future.
“First of all, at the end of the season, we will assess everything. And even personally, I will take a few weeks to see where I am, you know? Like you said, to know where I am And see how the relationship with the organization is going and everything.
I’ve been here for ten years, which is pretty good. I don’t know, in those ten years we’ve come up with a number of wins comparable to any team in the league. I don’t even know where that stands, but we’ve had a lot of great seasons.
And then, right now, my goal is to make this season as long as possible. This team needs playoff experience. So that’s where I’m at for now… Finish these 6 matches, see where we stand, see if we can’t move up one or two places in the standings.
And then give them a hard time in the Playoffs, see if we can get into a real series. If I project myself elsewhere? No. I am focused on this work, for sure, and on this game, essentially. But I think 10 years is a good time to step back and think a little.” insisted Nick Nurse in front of the press.
Does Nick Nurse feel an end to the cycle in Toronto? It’s possible. In any case, the recent rumor sending him to the Houston Rockets should gain momentum. Just like the one announcing Ime Udoka to the Raptors to replace him …
