Celtics' Ime Udoka facing season-long suspension for improper relationship with female staffer, per reports

Ime Udoka is facing a season-long suspension for improper relationship with female staffer. Assistant coach Joe Mazzula will be named interim coach. The Celtics were the betting favorite to win the championship this season. If Udokas is suspended, it will make the Celtics' chances of repeating the NBA Finals even more difficult. It's the latest distraction for the team in a tumultuous offseason. They lost Danilo Gallinari to an ACL injury and Robert Williams III to knee surgery.
