The Celtics head coach could face disciplinary action.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka “is facing possible disciplinary action – including a significant suspension – for an unspecified violation of organizational guidelines. Discussions are ongoing within the Celtics on a final determination.” The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach has confirmed the report.
Udoka joined the Celtics last offseason after Danny Ainge’s retirement and Brad Stevens’ move to the front office. Despite a low start to the season, Udoka ended strong, leading the Celtics on a dominant second-half stretch, culminating in a run to the NBA Finals.
His defensive system and team-building presence helped Boston turn things around and become one of the best teams in the East. Udoka finished fourth in Coach of the Year voting.
