Celtics coach Ime Udoka reportedly had an “improper intimate and consensual relationship” with a female member of the team’s staff, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. His behavior was considered a violation of the team’s code of conduct.
The news comes hours after ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Celtics coach could reportedly face potential disciplinary action, including a serious suspension, for violating team rules.
Per Wojnarowski, the franchise is still working on a suspension for Udoka and a length of punishment that could be announced later on Thursday. However, it is believed that Udoka's job is not in jeopardy.
