(Toronto) Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse has denied rumors of him coaching the Los Angeles Lakers in the season-ending review of Canada’s only NBA team.
Posted at 1:45 p.m.
Rumors swirled last month about a potential deal between Nurse and the Lakers, following the firing of head coach Frank Vogel at the end of the campaign.
Nurse reiterated that his priority is to lead the Raptors, and added that he doesn’t know where those rumors are coming from.
The Lakers fired Vogel after the California squad was dropped from the NBA playoffs.
Nurse met the media on Monday after the Toronto team lost in six games to the 76ers of Philadelphia in the first round of the playoffs last Thursday.
Nurse has two more seasons left on his fall 2020 contract extension with the Raptors.
