Stephen Silas out; 5 coaching candidates for Houston Rockets

2. Nick Nurse

Nurse’s run with the Toronto Raptors has quickly transformed him into one of the game’s top head coaches. With an NBA title in his first season at the helm, Nurse has showcased an ability to develop the Raptors young talent at an elite level. With budding stars like OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes to show for the team’s progress, Nurse has made the Raptors into one of the tougher matchups on a nightly basis. With a disappointing 41-41 finish to the 2022-23 season, Nurse and the Raptors could find themselves taking a look at the future as they determine the best route with Nurse nearing the end of his current contract.
