Report: Celtics head coach Ime Udoka facing team discipline for alleged 'improper' consensual relationship with female staff member

Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka is facing a potential "significant suspension" or other disciplinary action after violating organization guidelines, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Athletic's Shams Charania reports that Udoka is accused of engaging in "an improper intimate and consensual relationship with a female member of the team staff" in violation of the franchise's code of conduct. Further details of the alleged violation weren't immediately clear.

The discussions about potential discipline are reportedly internal, and do not involve the league, according to Wojnarowski. Udoka's job isn't believed to be in jeopardy, but discussions include a scenario that could keep him suspended for the entire upcoming season, Wojnarowski reports.
