An ESPN insider posted some more “concerning” details regarding Ime Udoka’s scandal at the Boston Celtics.
The Ime Udoka cheating scandal has had the NBA community on Twitter in a chokehold ever since the news of it surfaced. The Boston Celtics head coach made the headlines for all the wrong reasons as he was revealed to have been cheating on his fiancé with an unnamed female staff member working at the Celtics, thereby ensuring a breach of an organizational guideline.
The breach of guidelines meant that Udoka was liable to be suspended by the Celtics, and was eventually suspended for an indefinite amount of time – which will certainly see him miss the entirety of the 2022/23 season with the Celtics. It serves as a huge blow for the Celtics who were looking to get better after making it to the Finals last season, and brings them back to square one.
However, it turns out that things have gone from bad to worse after ESPN insider Adrian Wojnarowski – who has covered every aspect of the story to the most minute detail – revealed that there are aspects to the story that make it even worse. The new revelation added another angle to the incident, and piles on Udoka and the Celtics’ misery to an even greater extent.
What did Wojnarowski have to add about the Udoka situation?
ESPN insider Wojnarowski added some more concerning details to the Udoka scandal.
According to Wojnarowski, the law firm probe into Celtics coach the Ime Udoka found crude language in his dialogue w/ a female subordinate prior to start of an improper workplace relationship, an element that significantly factored into severity of a one-year suspension.
Wojnarowski added: “Those investigative findings – described as verbiage on Udoka’s part that was deemed especially concerning coming from a workplace superior – contribute to what is likely a difficult pathway back to his reinstatement as Celtics coach in 2023, sources told ESPN.”
The additional detail makes the situation all the harder for Udoka, and makes his reinstatement as head coach of the Celtics all the more unlikely even past his suspension period.
