The Toronto Raptors say six members of their coaching staff, including head coach Nick Nurse, will miss Friday night’s game against Houston. Forward Pascal Siakam is also out. The decisions are in keeping with the league’s health and safety protocols regarding the coronavirus. Sergio Scariolo will coach Toronto on Friday. The Raptors say Nurse and the other staffers they will continue to work remotely. The NBA has postponed 29 games this season already because of virus-related issues, though this is the first time that a team has said its coaching staff would be unable to be at a game because of the protocols.
