Last night it was reported that Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka was facing a lengthy suspension from the franchise. Several hours later, the reasoning behind it has been revealed, an inappropriate intimate and consensual relationship with a member of the team’s staff.

For Udoka he has been in a relationship with actress Nia Long for 12 plus years, yet the two have never married.

Still for Udoka he has been getting called out for cheating on Long especially on social media. As for the Celtics, when the suspension gets announced the reason behind it will become that much more interesting.

As of now everything is speculation. It is intriguing though that when the reports came out that it stated that Udoka violated organizational guidelines. What was it for? Is it because he cheated on his girlfriend? The Celtics are not the morality police, so that seems suspicious. Also, if the relationship was consensual as the report has stated then what is the issue? If the organization knew at any point during the time that Udoka started having said relationship, why was there no action taken by the Celtics until now?

Per the organization’s website it does not appear that he was having a relationship with anyone he was directly supervising. So any kind of suspension for what has allegedly happened does not seem justifiable at this time. The last question that will get answered is what will he do when his suspension is announced? Accept it or fight it?

As of now here are the reactions on social media to what is happening with the Celtics, Udoka, and Long.
