The Portland Trail Blazers have appointed Micah Nori as their head coach on a one-year contract with options for two additional years. Nori, previously the lead assistant coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves, had been a candidate for several head coaching positions recently. This decision follows the departure of interim coach Tiago Splitter, who took the head coach role for the Chicago Bulls after Chauncey Billups’ arrest. The Blazers made the playoffs in 2026, marking a significant milestone post-Damian Lillard trade.
