Due to health and safety protocols, six members of the Toronto Raptors coaching staff, including head coach Nick Nurse, will not be on the bench beginning with Friday’s game against the Houston Rockets.
They will continue to work remotely. There aren’t any details yet on their eventual return.
Per the Toronto Star, “the Raptors had been one of the few teams to escape any significant issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic this season. No player or coach had missed a game before tonight, and they have not had a game postponed.”
