Brooklyn Nets set to hire Celtic’s Ime Udoka as head coach despite cheating scandal

The Athletic reported that Udoka also made “unwanted comments” to the woman, and ESPN reported that the coach used “crude language.”

In the Tuesday report, ESPN's Wojnarowski added that the Celtics would permit Udoka to leave for a different job.

Udoka was an assistant on the Nets two years ago; last year, but in his first season as Celtics head coach, Boston reached the NBA Finals.
