The now-Sixers coach led the Toronto Raptors to the 2019 NBA title in his first year in charge. There have been playoff appearances but little to show for them in the ensuing years.
The Raptors' Kawhi Leonard watches his iconic, game-winning shot as it bounces on the rim four times before dropping to beat the Sixers in Game 7 of the 2019 Eastern Conference semifinals in Toronto.Starting in 2014, the Toronto Raptors had been to the playoffs five consecutive years under Dwane Casey, but never got out of the Eastern Conference.
The Sixers were 31-8 with Embiid this season, 16-27 without him. Even though he missed Sunday’s season finale as a precaution, optimism is moderate.The Raptors not only fired their coach following the previous season’s disappointment, they also traded popular star DeMar DeRozan. The deal freed up salary cap space and, more importantly, brought in Kawhi Leonard. Toronto, the conference’s No.
Toronto swept Brooklyn in the opening round in what turned out to be Nurse’s final playoff series win. They then lost to the Celtics in seven in the conference finals as new No. 1 option Pascal Siakam struggled. Still, this arguably was Nurse’s best coaching job.This season was a disaster. The Raptors had to play all their home games in Tampa because of pandemic travel restrictions in Canada, and every key player missed significant time because of injury.
