Ime Udoka ‘expected’ to get one-year suspension, Joe Mazzulla set to become interim coach

Celtics coach Ime Udoka is “expected” to be suspended by the team for a year as a result of his consensual relationship with a female staff member, according to multiple reports.

Boston has told assistant coach Joe Mazzulla that he will be interim Celtics coach in Udoka’s absence, according to Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe.

While the team is reportedly set to issue a statement as soon as Thursday, the Celtics are also scheduled to host media day on Monday ahead of the start of training camp for the upcoming season on Tuesday.
