As the Raptors continue their coaching search following the firing of title-winning head coach Nick Nurse, an interesting name has been linked to the open position.
According to a report from Michael Grange of Sportsnet, the Raptors have “looked into the possibility” of hiring ESPN analyst JJ Redick as the team’s new coach. Redick was listed among “wild card” candidates by Grange, a list that also included former Toronto coach Dwane Casey.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported on Wednesday afternoon that Redick has completed an interview for the Toronto job. He was part of a first round of candidates to meet with the franchise’s leadership.
