The relationship violated the organization's code of conduct,
per the report.
ESPN reported Wednesday night that Udoka could face disciplinary
action, including a hefty suspension, for an undisclosed
violation of organization guidelines. That report stated that
conversations between the league and the Celtics were taking
place to determine the right course of action.
No details regarding the length of a potential suspension were
mentioned, but ESPN reported that a suspension is in fact
imminent and could be handed out as soon as Thursday.
Boston is handling the situation internally and Udoka is not
facing scrutiny from the league itself, per the ESPN report.
In his first season as head coach, Udoka, 45, led the Celtics to
the NBA Finals, where they ultimately lost to the Golden State
Warriors in six games. Boston finished the regular season with a
51-31 record before beating the Brooklyn Nets, Milwaukee Bucks
and Miami Heat in the playoffs.
Udoka previously served as an assistant coach for the San
Antonio Spurs (2012-19), Philadelphia 76ers (2019-20) and Nets
(2020-21) following a seven-year playing career in the NBA.
