After Casey was fired in 2018, Nurse was promoted to head coach and signed a contract worth $10 million for three-year and reportedly had a salary of $3.3 million per year.

In his second season with the Raptors, Nick won his first NBA title and was also qualified to be the head coach for the 2020 NBA All-Star Game. Because of the amazing result, the Raptors offered a contract extension in September 2020. He accepted the offer and is set to earn $8 million per year.
