Matt Barnes: "I spoke on Ime Udoka’s defense and after finding out the facts I erased what I posted because this situation in Boston is deep, messy and 100 times uglier than any of us thought. Some things happened I can’t condone. It’s not my place to tell you what happened." from nba
What Did The Athletic Report About Ime Udoka?
According to the Athletic, when the staffer told the boss about the affair, the bosses of the Celtics looked into it more and decided that Udoka deserved to be suspended for a year because of what had happened.
The Celtics have banned coach Ime Udoka for the whole 2022–23 season. Because he broke team rules, the team said Thursday. In a statement, the team said that “a decision will be made about his future with the Celtics after this season.”
The second-year coach Ime Udoka was punished because he had a romantic relationship with a woman in the organisation, The Athletic reported Thursday morning as the first to do so.
How Did Everyone Came To Know About The Relationship Of Ime Udoka?
Sources say that some people in the Celtics’ organisation learned about the relationship for the first time in July. At that time, both parties told the team’s leaders that the relationship was mutually agreeable. But sources say that the woman recently accused Ime Udoka of making comments. About her that she didn’t want to hear. This led the team to start a series of internal interviews.
Sources say that team owners and president Brad Stevens met behind closed doors on Thursday. For several hours to make the decision and make the announcement about Ime Udoka. Stevens and people from the Celtics’ front office met with players at the team facility earlier on Thursday.

One would think that the Celtics are doing everything they can to make sure they don’t get sued, because then everything would be out in the open.
I can only see Ime Udoka keeping his job if the Celtics have a bad season and don’t make the playoffs. If they have a good season and make the playoffs, I don’t think he would be welcome back.
