Micah Nori Hired By Blazers As Head Coach

The Portland Trail Blazers have hired Micah Nori as head coach on a one-year deal with team options for Year 2 and Year 3. Nori has been the lead assistant coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves over the past five seasons. Nori has been a candidate for multiple head coaching jobs in recent seasons. The Blazers were searching for a new head coach following Chauncey Billups federal arrest last October. Tiago Splitter was interim head coach for the remainder of the season and exited the Blazers this offseason to become head coach of the Chicago Bulls. The Blazers reached the playoffs in 2026 for the first time since their trade of Damian Lillard. New York Knicks assistant coach Chris Jent and Boston Celtics assistant coach Tyler Lashbrook were the other finalists for the job.
