The Boston Celtics suspended former head coach Ime Udoka just a week before training camp of the 2022-23 NBA season, and the aftermath was filled with question marks. His suspension was for the entirety of the season due to “violations of team policies,” per the Celtics.
It was later reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania that Udoka had an “improper” relationship with a female staffer.
Players spoke then about their lack of information on the situation, including Jayson Tatum saying he found out on Twitter and hadn’t talked to Udoka. The now-Houston Rockets coach addressed the topic of players being left in the dark following their matchup with the Celtics on Saturday, Jan. 13, and said at least “some of them knew.”
