“He’s Fully Healed”: Toronto Raptors Head Coach Announces the Return of Completely Revamped Marc Gasol

Nick Nurse is presently the winningest coach with a 99-39 record. It is true that he has very few games under his belt, which is why he has a high average win percentage. Still, he has been instrumental in making the players feel at home. Toronto Raptors’ head coach understands well how it can affect his players mentally when they stay away from home for long. So, they pulled a unique approach. The team management got family photos of all the players hanging on the hotel room walls to welcome them. What a kind gesture! And now Nick has something to share about the Spanish player, Marc Gasol.
Marc had to call it quits in the middle of a game in January this year. He felt tightness in his left hamstring and pulled out from the rest of the season (missing 16 of the 17 games before March 11). But this wasn’t the first time his hamstrings failed him. He missed back-to-back games in December last year as well. The impact of his absence was such that, of the 12 games he missed, Raptors lost six.

His importance in the team roster can be understood by the fact that he played a total of 103 games in the 2018-19 season. He scored 7.6 pts per game, made 6.3 rebounds, and converted 3.4 assists with an FG% 41.9. Kyle Lowry, Siakam, VanVleet would all want to have Gasol by their side if they wish to move up in the rankings and possibly play in the Finals.
