Philadelphia 76ers hire Ime Udoka as assistant coach

The search for the replacement for Monty Williams, who is now the head coach for the Phoenix Suns, has come to an end. Williams was the right hand man and lead assistant on head coach Brett Brown’s staff this past season. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Philadelphia 76ers have found a more than qualified candidate.

After seven years under Gregg Popovich, Spurs assistant Ime Udoka has agreed to become Brett Brown’s lead assistant with the 76ers, league sources tell ESPN. Brown reaches back to his Spurs roots on a strong replacement for Monty Williams.
