The Brooklyn Nets are expected to hire suspended Celtics head coach Ime Udoka as their next head coach, according to a report from The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
The deal could be finalized in 24-48 hours, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Brooklyn fired head coach Steve Nash on Tuesday afternoon. The Nets, who lost to the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs last year, have started the season with a 2-5 record.
According to ESPN, the Celtics would be willing to let Udoka leave for another job.
