September 22, (THEWILL) – Ime Udoka, the head coach of the Boston Celtics, will likely face some severe punishment for his involvement in an intimate but consensual relationship with a woman who works for the team.

A decision on the suspension’s duration might be made as soon as Thursday, because the relationship was deemed to be against the rules. Although a final choice has not yet been made, internal conversations have reportedly explored options that would lead to a suspension of Udoka for the full 2022/2023 campaign.

After finishing his NBA playing career, Udoka worked as an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets until joining the Celtics last summer as substantive coach, succeeding Brad Stevens.

Following Danny Ainge’s decision to depart the company, Stevens moved upstairs to take over as Boston’s president of basketball operations. The Boston Celtics went from being below .500 in late January to finishing the season with a 28-7 record over their final 35 games under Udoka’s direction in his first season as coach.

Following that, they made an outstanding run through the Eastern Conference playoffs, making it to the NBA Finals for the first time in 12 years. Udoka is the first head coach since Nick Nurse in 2019 to advance to the NBA Finals in his first season in that position. He is the fifth coach to do so in the previous 25 years.
