The Boston Celtics are reportedly set to name assistant Joe Mazzulla as interim head coach following the impending suspension of current head coach Ime Udoka. According to multiple sources, Udoka was engaged in a consensual relationship with a female staffer and could be suspended for the entire ’22-23 season as a result.
Mazzulla has been with the club since 2019 but is just 34 years old. Likewise, many of the current Celtics assistant coaches are either on the younger side or lack experience. Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix is reporting Boston could reach out to former head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers Frank Vogel.
