Actress Nia Long did not appreciate the way the Boston Celtics handled the suspension of her longtime partner, head coach Ime Udoka.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Long criticized the Celtics for deciding “to make a very private situation public,” telling the magazine that she had to take her and Udoka’s son, Kez, 11, out of school following Udoka’s one-year suspension for violating team policies.
League sources told The Boston Globe that Udoka’s suspension stemmed from an improper relationship with a subordinate team employee
“I think the most heartbreaking thing about all of this was seeing my son’s face when the Boston Celtics organization decided to make a very private situation public,” Long told THR.
