Ime Udoka seemed excited to name a couple captains for the Celtics in the preseason, but then we never heard an announcement. Fans and media guessed he's name Marcus Smart and Al Horford, but I'm sure Smart's suspension for missing a team flight didn't help the matter. Udoka finally spoke again today on the captaincy and announced there won't be any after all.
Ime Udoka has decided against captains: "That's probably in the rear view at this point." Said the combo of Tatum/Brown/Horford/Smart all lead in their own ways.
You can feel free to make what ever guesses you like on why Udoka changed course, but the Smart and Horford picks always had their hurdles.
