Nick Nurse Named Head Coach of Philadelphia 76ers
Former NBA Champion Brings Creativity and Expertise to Sixers
PHILADELPHIA, June 1, 2023 - Philadelphia 76ers President of Basketball Operations Daryl Morey announced today that Nick Nurse has been named the team's new head coach.
A Proven Winner
Coach Nurse brings a proven track record of success to Philadelphia. As head coach of the Toronto Raptors, he led the team to their first NBA Championship in franchise history in 2019. His creative and innovative approach to basketball has earned him widespread respect throughout the league.
A History with the Sixers
While Larry Brown coached the 76ers from 1997 to 2003, Nick Nurse is not a stranger to the City of Brotherly Love. He served as an assistant coach with the Sixers from 1999 to 2001, contributing to the team's run to the NBA Finals in 2001.
Expectations for Success
The Philadelphia 76ers are poised to make a deep playoff run this season. With a talented roster led by Joel Embiid and James Harden, Coach Nurse will be tasked with maximizing the team's potential and guiding them towards a championship.
Morey expressed his confidence in Nurse's abilities, saying, "Nick is a brilliant basketball mind and a proven winner. We believe he is the right person to lead our team to the next level."
Coach Nurse is expected to be formally introduced at a press conference next week. He will begin his tenure as head coach immediately, as the Sixers prepare for the upcoming season.
