Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse made an appearance in Brazilian soccer.<\/p>\n
But if you thought it was Fla-Flu, Palmeiras vs. Corinthians, Grenal, Galo vs. Cruzeiro, or any other S\u00e9rie A derby, you were wrong!<\/p>\n
LeBron James\u2019 coach in the NBA went to Est\u00e1dio dos Aflitos, in Recife, to watch the match between N\u00e1utico and Cear\u00e1 in the 23rd round of Brazil\u2019s S\u00e9rie B.<\/p>\n
At 59, the coach watched the match from the stands wearing a N\u00e1utico shirt.<\/p>\n
After the game, he received a gift from the club from Pernambuco.<\/p>\n
Nurse\u2019s presence in the city is due to his family.<\/p>\n
He has been married for 12 years to Roberta Nurse, a former volleyball player from Pernambuco, with whom he has two children: Noah and Leo.<\/p>\n
This is not the first time the coach has been in the region. In 2022, he was in Recife to follow the FIBA AmeriCup at Gerald\u00e3o arena and gave a sports clinic for local coaches.<\/p>\n
In 2023, he traveled to Campina Grande, Para\u00edba, to give a lecture at a university.<\/p>\n
Nick Nurse is a major name in North American basketball, having won the NBA title in 2019 with the Toronto Raptors.<\/p>\n
In charge of the Philadelphia 76ers since 2023, he will now have the mission of coaching LeBron James, the league\u2019s all-time leading scorer, who recently signed a two-season contract with the franchise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Philadelphia 76ers head coach Nick Nurse made an appearance in Brazilian soccer.
