The Boston Celtics announced Thursday they’ve suspended head coach Ime Udoka for the entirety of the 2022-2023 season. Earlier reports from various outlets alleged the coach had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a Celtics staffer. However, the team did not state why Udoka was being suspended in their formal statement.
In a statement released through ESPN’s Malika Andrews, Udoka apologized to Celtics players, fans and the organization, noting he would not have further comment or elaboration “out of respect” for everyone involved.
