Blazers Hire Nori to Revive Playoff Push

Portland’s basketball future just got a major upgrade as they officially hired Micah Nori, the 52-year-old former Timberwolves assistant, as their new head coach — the last NBA team to fill this vacancy.

With a one-year deal and options for two more seasons, Portland is betting big on Nori’s strategic mind to spark their own turnaround.
