The Raptors picked up their 2026/27 option on head coach Darko Rajakovic’s contract last summer, according to Michael Grange of Sportsnet.
Rajakovic is finished up his second season as the head coach. His bosses have now made a financial commitment to him for the next two seasons.
Toronto began a major rebuild by dealing OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam during the 2023/24 season. The Raptors played a facilitating role in the Jimmy Butler blockbuster and also acquired injured forward Brandon Ingram last month, signing him to a three-year contract extension. Ingram has yet to make his Toronto debut.
Rajokovic has a 53-104 record since replacing Nick Nurse after Toronto defeated Philadelphia on Sunday night.
Rajakovic, who originally hails from Serbia and coached in the Spanish EBA League before arriving stateside, was Memphis’ lead assistant prior to getting the job. He was also an assistant coach with the Thunder and Suns.
I like what okc did with Daigneault. They found a coach they believed in, kept him and now are reaping the benefits.
Maybe Rajakovic can be a similar case.
Not mad at it. Now for the raps to acquire a top 2 pick whether the weak minded haters like it or not.
Is Canada the 51st state now?
Nope, the US is our 11th Province actually.
@ Down with OBP Same way you can’t think of a creative thing to say, no Canada is still a separate country that you hate but simultaneously are obsessed with.
And desperately need as well.
