Toronto Raptors fire Nick Nurse


The Toronto Raptors relieved Nick Nurse of his duties as head coach, vice chairman and president of basketball operations Masai Ujiri announced Friday.

Former Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka is expected to be a serious candidate for the Raptors job, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

"The decision to make a change like this is never arrived at easily or taken lightly, especially when it comes to a person who has been an integral part of this franchise's most historic accomplishments, and who has been a steady leader through some of our team's most challenging times," Ujiri said in a statement.
