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.

Derrick White Signs Four-Year Extension With Celtics

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Boston Celtics continue to check things off their to-do list by extending Derrick White. His new contract will keep him in Boston until the age of 34.

White is officially signing a four-year, $125.9 million deal with a player option attached. He was seen as a big piece to get re-signed due to him being in the final year of his contract.

The $125.9 million they gave White was the max amount of money they had available, at least at this current time. White joins Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday, and Jaylen Brown as players given extensions. It’s expected Jayson Tatum will receive one as well before summer is over.

One of the most clutch players in the NBA, now reigning champion, averaged 15.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 73 games played.

Al Horford Wants To Continue Playing Basketball

According to the man himself, Al Horford wants to continue playing basketball in the National Basketball Association. Something that was on everyone’s mind after seeing him win his first career championship Monday night.

When asked how many more years he wanted to play, the 38-year-old never committed to a set number. Horford says as long as he’s healthy and still enjoying it, he will continue playing.

“For me, I never really put a timeframe on it,” Horford told ESPN. “I want to make sure that I feel healthy, that I’m enjoying what I’m doing and for me, thankfully, I have my wife’s support and my family’s. That’s a big deal to me. … I feel like I’ve been asked this for a few years now and I feel good, I want to keep playing. Why not keep going? I don’t want to limit myself.”

He has one year left on his contract with the Boston Celtics.
