BOSTON — Brad Stevens’ voice shook, and he looked to be holding back tears.
In the wake of the Celtics’ decision to suspend coach Ime Udoka for the entirety of this season after he reportedly had an improper relationship with a female member of the organization, Stevens had a point to make.
After news first broke late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning of the reasoning behind Udoka’s potential suspension, speculation was rampant on social media in trying to identify who the female party involved is, with pictures posted of several women who work for the Celtics. On Friday, as the Celtics addressed Udoka’s suspension, Stevens made an emotional plea against the unfair speculation — unprompted — during his opening statement.
