The Canadian franchise offered the position to Darko today, and they are in the final steps of signing an official deal.

After a long search, president Masai Ujiri and GM Bobby Webster finally ended up with a name that will have to take charge after Nick Nurse’s dismissal.

With the appointment of Rajakovic, all NBA teams’ head coach positions are occupied.

Darko was Taylor Jenkins’ top assistant at Memphis, but now he would have to make all the major decisions in his debut as head coach in the league.
