NEW YORK — Nets GM Sean Marks said he has not determined who will replace Steve Nash as head coach moving forward, but when asked about reports regarding suspended Celtics coach Ime Udoka, he danced around the topic.
The Celtics suspended Udoka, who just took Boston to the NBA Finals last season, for the entire 2022-23 season reportedly due to a sexual misconduct allegation with a female staffer within the organization.
Yet within minutes of the Nets announcing their decision to part ways with Nash, vaunted NBA newsbreaker Shams Charania reported the Nets not only received permission to interview Udoka, but that they also plan to hire him as their next head coach.
