Ime Udoka reportedly used crude language prior to beginning ‘improper relationship’ with woman

Some more details have trickled out on why Ime Udoka received a full-year suspension from the Celtics.

Udoka used crude language with a female subordinate before beginning an “improper relationship” with the woman, an independent law firm’s investigation found according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The investigation said that Udoka’s crude language was “especially concerning coming from a workplace superior,” Wojnarowski reported.

With Udoka suspended for the entire season due to his actions, there is a “difficult pathway” for him to return as the Celtics’ coach, but Boston wouldn’t “stand in the way” of Udoka becoming a coach elsewhere, Wojnarowski added.
