Celtics coach Ime Udoka was suspended by the franchise last week for violating organizational rules. He will not coach for Boston for the entirety of the 2022-’23 season, and his future with the team will be determined at a later time.
Multiple reports have indicated that Udoka’s suspension stems from a consensual relationship with a female member of the organization.
With Celtics training camp opening this week, the team organized its annual media day to officially tip off the new basketball season. Coming off an NBA Finals appearance, many expected the Celtics to be a force in the East again this season.
