Summary

Nick Nurse, head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, was spotted at Estádio dos Aflitos in Recife watching a Série B match between Náutico and Ceará on August 19. Wearing a Náutico shirt, Nurse's visit is connected to family ties in the region, as he is married to former volleyball player Roberta Nurse from Pernambuco. This is not Nurse's first trip to Brazil; he previously attended events in Recife and gave a lecture in Paraíba. He is set to coach LeBron James, who recently signed with the 76ers for two seasons.
