TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors have signed head coach Nick Nurse to a multi-year contract extension.
Nurse was named NBA coach of the year this past season — his second year as head coach of the club.
The Raptors went 53-19 during the regular season, posting the second-best record in the league despite losing superstar Kawhi Leonard to the Los Angeles Clippers in free agency after Toronto’s run to the title last year.
