The Celtics suspended coach Ime Udoka for the entire 2022–23 season on Thursday night, citing Udoka’s alleged involvement in an “improper” consensual relationship with a female member of the team’s staff.
However, the latest report from The Athletic’s Shams Charania shared new information about the circumstances that led to the suspension.
According to Charania, members of the Celtics organization became aware of the relationship in July, and Boston’s leadership was led to believe by both Udoka and the woman that the relationship was consensual. But the woman recently said that Udoka made unwanted comments toward her, prompting the team to launch a set of internal interviews, per Charania.
