Micah Nori Takes Over as Blazers Head Coach

Micah Nori, veteran assistant coach with 15 years of NBA experience, has been named head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers — taking over just weeks after Tiago Splitter left for the Bulls. Nori, who spent five seasons as lead assistant with the Timberwolves, is eager to embrace Rip City’s electric energy and promises a team that plays hard, smart, and together. He’s determined to prove himself — having never hired an agent in his 28-year coaching journey — and hopes his leadership will build on last year’s playoff run and propel the Blazers further up the standings.
