Nia Long tears into Boston Celtics over "heartbreaking" Ime Udoka cheating scandal

Nia Long, the fiancée of disgraced Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka, has spoken publicly for the first time in the wake of the cheating scandal that rocked the NBA, slamming the team's handling of the situation.

Udoka led the Celtics to the NBA Finals in the summer, but he has been suspended by the team in September for the whole 2022/23 season after it emerged he had an inappropriate, but consensual, relationship with a female member of staff, breaking team rules. Assistant coach Joe Mazzulla is in interim charge.

Long, an actress best known for her roles in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Empire, got engaged to Udoka in 2015 and they have an 11-year-old son together.
