Report: Changes coming to Raptors bench

There has been some speculation that Dwane Casey could be the next head coach to lose his job. Well, he will return next season, however some of his assistants may be replaced. From Ryan Wolstat of the Toronto Sun:

    "While Toronto Raptors president/general manager Masai Ujiri has not declared one way or the other whether Casey will be back as the team’s head coach next season since the team crumpled to the mat in four games against the Washington Wizards, his return is not in question, sources have told the Sun.

    What is less clear, is whether his coaching staff will remain intact, or whether there will be some alterations.

    As multiple reports have indicated, there has been discussion about shaking up a staff that includes Bill Bayno, Nick Nurse, Tom Sterner, Jesse Mermuys and Jama Mahlalela (director of sports science Alex McKechnie also is an assistant coach), but what is not being said out loud is that nothing has yet been finalized and maintaining the status quo is also a possibility.

    Casey has one guaranteed year remaining on his contract, plus a team option."
