Celtics coach Ime Udoka reportedly will be suspended for a lengthy period of time — perhaps the entire season — due to his role in an “intimate, consensual” relationship with a woman on the Celtics’ staff.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports, however, Udoka does not plan to step away from his role as Celtics head coach as he awaits a decision on the length of his suspension.
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Celtics will replace Udoka on the sideline with assistant coach Joe Mazzulla, who has been with the team since 2019.
