Ime Udoka, ex-Celtics head coach, is the main candidate for the position, according to ESPN’s reporter Adrian Wojnarowski.
Nick can continue to be a head coach in the NBA as Houston Rockets are currently looking for HC. Nurse was part of Toronto coaching staff for 10 years, the last 5 of them as head coach.
Udoka left Boston after a scandal for a problematic relationship with a female employee in the franchise. First, Ime was suspended but then replaced by Joe Mazzulla in February.
Udoka was hired by Boston in 2021 to replace Brad Stevens, who became a director in Celtic’s front office.
With him, the franchise finished 51-31 in 21-22 and won the Atlantic Division. Celtics also reached the NBA Finals, but Golden State Warriors defeated them in 6 matches.
