Nori Takes Helm in Portland

Micah Nori is officially the new head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers — a dream job after nearly 30 years in the NBA, starting as an intern in 1998. After five seasons with the Timberwolves and interviews with the Knicks and Lakers, Nori finally gets his first head coaching gig, thrilled to lead in his hometown. He’s committed to a team that plays smart, hard, and together, while targeting improvements in turnovers and three-point shooting. With Damian Lillard set to return and the roster already playoff-bound, Nori sees a golden opportunity. His experience stepping in as interim coach during a Timberwolves playoff game proved he can thrive under pressure — and he’s ready to bring his vision to Portland’s passionate fans.
