The Indiana Pacers have agreed to a deal to hire Toronto Raptors assistant Nate Bjorkgren as their head coach, sources tell ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Bjorkgren, 45, has worked as an assistant under Nick Nurse in Toronto since July 2018 and will inherit a Pacers team that has reached the playoffs in each of the past five seasons.
The Pacers dismissed coach Nate McMillan earlier this year after consecutive sweeps in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
McMillan reached the playoffs in each of his four years as Pacers coach.
