Nurse and the Raptors announced a multiyear extension Tuesday, without divulging the terms. In his two seasons with Toronto, Nurse won the 2019 NBA championship and led the Raptors to more wins than any team in the league over that span. โOur confidence in Nick just continues to grow, and part of that comes from what weโve experienced together,โ Raptors President Masai Ujiri said.
