Nurse won Eastern Conference Coach of the Month honors twice during the 2019-20 season, in January and for games played in October/November, while he also coached Team Giannis at the NBA All-Star Game in Chicago.

Nurse became the third coach in the team’s history to win the award, joining Dwane Casey (2017-18) and Sam Mitchell (2006-07).
