Ime Udoka is back in the league.
The Houston Rockets reached a deal to make Udoka their next head coach on Monday afternoon, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. This will mark Udoka’s first job in the league since his season-long suspension and eventual parting with the Boston Celtics last year.

Udoka will replace Stephen Silas in Houston. The Rockets parted ways with Silas earlier this month, ending his tenure with the franchise after just three seasons.
