It was reported that longtime assistant coach and former San Antonio Spurs player Ime Udoka will depart from the Alamo City for a new gig as Sixers’ coach Brett Brown’s lead assistant, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Udoka spent seven years working closely under the NBA’s all-time winningest coach in Gregg Popovich, studying his tactics and developing strategies for the rotating cast of players that he helped develop.
Popovich signed a three-year extension at the beginning of the offseason, solidifying himself within the organization for at least a few years longer.
