Urgent:Nick Nurse Rushed to the hospital in a critical condition A league source tells CNN Sport that Nick Nurse, who as head coach guided the Toronto Raptors to their only NBA championship in 2019, has been named the new head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers. The 55-year-old Nurse, who was the head coach of the Raptors from 2018 to 2023, is considered one of the NBA's most brilliant brains and was in great demand after leaving the Toronto franchise. After the Sixers' devastating loss to the Boston Celtics in the second round, former head coach Doc Rivers was removed of his duties. Nurse orchestrated a seven-game series victory over his new employers during the Raptors' 2019 drive to the ring, and he was widely praised for his team's ability to neutralize Joel Embiid's danger. The Raptors defeated the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals and the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals after Kawhi Leonard's game-winning basket in Game 7 put the Sixers out of the game. After leading Toronto to a 53-19 record sans former star Leonard, Nurse won NBA Coach of the Year the following season, continuing his excellent play with the Raptors. Nurse's path to the NBA did not take the typical path taken by a head coach in the league today. Nurse's path to the NBA did not take the typical path taken by a head coach in the league today. Due to his ambition to succeed in the field, the 55-year-old traveled throughout Europe, making his greatest impression in the UK. Nurse coached in the British Basketball League for many years, collecting two BBL titles and two coach of the year awards....
