According to reports. Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka is facing a “significant” suspension for having an affair with a team staff member


ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Udoka’s suspension may be “significant,” with the possibility that Udoka misses the entire 2022-23 season.

Udoka, who the Celtics hired last summer, is in a long-term relationship with actress Nia Long.

Udoka and the Celtics got off to a bumpy start last season, going 23-24 through the first 57 games of the season. The team then made a remarkable turn, going 28-7 with the league’s best offense and defense during that time.

The Celtics went on an impressive run through the playoffs, making it to the Finals, where they lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games.

After a solid off-season that included the acquisition of Malcolm Brogdon, the Celtics are considered strong championship contenders, with Udoka serving as one of the league’s most promising coaches.

Wojnarowski reported that Udoka’s job is not considered in jeopardy, though NBA teams have fired staff members for affairs. Last September, the Minnesota Timberwolves fired president of basketball operations Gersson Rosas due to poor performance and a consensual relationship with a female staff member coming to light, ESPN reported.

Charania reported that assistant coach Joe Mazzulla is expected to fill in as head coach.

  7. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team. At the Lucas Moripe Stadium, they will host Chippa United to open the 2022–23 DStv Premiership season on August 7 at 17:30.
