Nick Nurse is pretty upset about some reports criticizing the character and coaching of one of his former assistants.
Indiana Pacers first-year head coach Nate Bjorkgren has come under fire recently. A report on Tuesday said that Bjorkgren’s future is in jeopardy, largely due to his style of coaching and communication.
On Thursday, Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer published a lengthy piece about Bjorkgren that pointed out all his perceived flaws and issues as a coach. One section reported that Bjorkgren acted as a sort of chief of staff for Nurse while working as an assistant coach in Toronto.

With Kyle Lowry out for the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday, Garry Trent Jr carried his team by exploding for 20 points in the first half against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This was an extraordinary half for Trent, who is averaging 14.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.4 assists this season.

Lowry’s absence certainly gives Trent additional minutes and more opportunities to score. The Raptors badly need as many wins as possible to at least make it to the play-in tournament this season. The competition below the Eastern Conference standings is quite tough so Wednesday’s game for the Raptors could be crucial for them down the line.
