Darko Rajakovic replaces Nick Nurse, who was fired on April 21 after the Toronto Raptors were eliminated in the play-in tournament
The 44-year-old Serb has been coaching since 1996 and was the top assistant in Memphis last season.“To join and to lead an elite organization like the Raptors is what I have been working for my entire professional life,” Rajakovic said in a release. “This is an amazing opportunity, to join a franchise with a supportive ownership group, fantastic front office and fanbase, and elite players.
“Darko shares those goals, and our belief in culture, professionalism, and hard work. His commitment to both learning and teaching our game is elite, and we are all very excited to welcome him to the Raptors family.”The Raptors won their only NBA championship under his watch in 2019 but were a disappointing 41-41 this season and were eliminated in the play-in tournament.
