Now former Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka is expected to be brought on as the new head coach for the Brooklyn Nets.
Udoka, 45, will be leaving a Celtics franchise where he was brought to shame, after sexual misconduct allegations stripped him of his position with the reigning Eastern Conference champions.
Shams Charania of The Athletic broke the news.
The Brooklyn Nets plan to hire Ime Udoka as their new head coach, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Boston granted the Nets permission to speak to Udoka and will allow him to leave freely, sources said.
