The unnamed female staff member with whom Udoka was involved was married, and their relationship was revealed by her husband. According to the sources, the case was revealed as she was taking a call from Udoka outside her home and at that time the staff member’s husband picked up the conservation from the door camera. The affair went on for a few months.
The Boston Celtics coach apologized after allegations surfaced that he was involved in an intimate relationship with a female team staff member. A relationship with the employee would be contrary to the franchising code of conduct that Uddoka was familiar with. As a result of the incident, the 45-year-old is suspended from the NBA throughout the 2022-23 season.
Udoka is also engaged to Friday actress Nia Long since almost a decade and they also have a 10-year-old son, Kez. Long was blinded by the alleged cheating. The source also states that Nia already knew the woman employed and had even talked to her on several occasions and even worked with her after the Celtics started investigating. For a long time, she had no idea about the cheating until the Celtics announced Udoka was suspended. Long recently moved to Boston, but is now ready to go in light of the deal and suspending Udoka’s coaching.

“I would like to apologize to our players, fans, the entire Celtics organisation, and my family for having let them down,” he said. I’m sorry I put the team in this predicament, and I accept the team’s decision. Out of respect for everyone concerned, I will not have any further comments.”
