76ers Hire Nick Nurse as Head Coach After Firing Doc Rivers

The Philadelphia 76ers have hired Nick Nurse as their new head coach after firing Doc Rivers.
Nurse led the Toronto Raptors to an NBA championship in 2019 and was named NBA Coach of the Year in 2020.
Nurse will be tasked with helping the 76ers reach their first NBA Finals since 2001.
The 76ers' roster makeup is uncertain as star James Harden heads into free agency.
Nurse chose the 76ers over the Phoenix Suns, citing his relationship with 76ers president Daryl Morey and star Joel Embiid as factors in his decision.
