The Brooklyn Nets are set to replace Steve Nash with Ime Udoka, the Boston Celtics head coach who is currently suspended.
Udoka was suspended by the Celtics for the entire 2022/23 NBA season for violating team policies regarding an improper intimate relationship with a female staff member on the team. The relationship was originally believed to be consensual, but the woman later accused Udoka of making unwanted comments towards her.
Udoka later apologised after his suspension was revealed., with assistant coach Joe Mazzulla taking his place as interim head coach. Udoka had impressed as a rookie as he led the Celtics to the NBA Finals where they lost in six games to the Golden State Warriors.
