The Boston Celtics have suspended head coach Ime Udoka for the entire 2022-23 season, citing "violations of team policies." The suspension is immediate, the team said as it announced the move Thursday night.
The team did not provide details about any allegations against Udoka, or its findings. But rumors had been swirling about Udoka's future after reports emerged that he was involved in "an improper intimate and consensual relationship with a female member of the team staff," as The Athletic's Shams Charania reported.
