The Toronto Raptors will be without their head coach for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Pistons.

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Raptors head coach Nick Nurse will be missing the game due to personal reasons. Assistant coach Adrian Griffin will be filling in for him.

The Raptors come into this game with a 26-31 record, which is good for 11th in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Pistons are 15-42 and have the second-worst record in the conference. 

It’s a game that the Raptors can surely win, even without Nurse leading the charge. 

Tip-off for Pistons-Raptors will be at 3 p.m. ET and it’ll be televised by TSN and Bally Sports Detroit.  

Hopefully, everything is okay so that Nurse can rejoin the team ASAP.
