Grizzlies Assistant Darko Rajakovic Hired as Raptors Head Coach

Rajakovic replaces Nick Nurse, who was fired after missing the playoffs.
Rajakovic has been an NBA assistant coach since 2012 and served with the Grizzlies, Suns, and Thunder.
The Raptors conducted an extensive coaching search and considered several candidates before choosing Rajakovic.
Rajakovic's hiring fills the last head coaching vacancy in the NBA this offseason.
The Raptors hope Rajakovic can help the team return to the postseason after a disappointing 2022-23 season.
