Nick Nurse opened up about the interest of the Los Angeles Lakers to hire him as Frank Vogel’s replacement.
The veteran coach made it clear he has no interest to part ways with the Toronto Raptors and take over the Lakers.
“I don’t know where that stuff comes from and I’m focused on coaching this team,” Nurse said, via TSN’s Josh Lewenberg.

To interview Nurse, the Lakers would need permission from the Raptors. However, it seems unlikely the veteran coach will change his mind and shows interest to join the 17-time NBA champions.
Nick Nurse has been with the Raptors since 2013, initially as an assistant and then as head coach (since 2018). He led Toronto to the 2019 NBA championship and is under contract with the franchise until 2024.
