Ime Udoka facing suspension after improper relationship with staff member

Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka is facing disciplinary action after reports of an improper relationship between him and a female staff member came to light last night. While his job may not be in jeopardy, per ESPN, the Celtics could be handing him a full season suspension for the misconduct.

The reason why this is a huge deal is due to the fact that his action violated the organization’s code of conduct. He is expected to be punished significantly for breaking those guidelines and rules.

The decision by the Celtics could come as fast as today; most likely a suspension is coming, but no one knows for how long it is going to be. Some have speculated months, but, per ESPN and other credible insiders, it has been rumored the suspension can last a full season.

If suspended for a full season, then assistant coach Joe Mazzulla will fill in as interim head coach for the Boston Celtics.

CourtSideHeat will update you all on this topic once more details come to light, such as the final decision by the Celtics.

According to multiple reports, the Boston Celtics have waived Lonnie Walker. He signed an Exhibit 10 contract earlier in the offseason.

Head coach Joe Mazzulla loved the work Walker showed the team during training camp and the preseason; however, if Boston were to sign him to their roster for the season, it would have cost them $11 million in salary. That would have been before the tax penalties.

President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens told the 25-year-old how difficult it would have been to make the team due to money and depth. Even with all that, Walker still opted to sign with them and show them his skills.

With the type of contract he has signed, if Walker doesn’t find another team to sign with, he can play for the Maine Celtics of the G League.

In 322 career games, Walker averaged 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 20.3 minutes.

Jeff Bezos Has Zero Interesting In Purchasing The Boston Celtics

According to Nick Wingfield of The Information, the rumors Bill Simmons tried to spread on The Ringer in a recent podcast episode are absolutely untrue.

Many rumors and reports have emerged since the Grousbeck family publicly put the Boston Celtics up for sale. The biggest one was Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, wanting to purchase Boston’s franchise.

This rumor wasn’t totally out of the norm because Bezos was interested in the NFL’s Washington Commanders.
