ESPN reported earlier this week that the Celtics were planning to suspend their head coach for his role in an intimate consensual relationship with a member of the franchise’s staff.
Assistant coach Joe Mazzulla will serve as interim head coach for the 2022-23 season, according to a report by Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
The Celtics have made assistant coach Joe Mazzulla the interim head coach, sources tell ESPN. Udoka took over as Celtics coach last summer, replacing Brad Stevens after he moved into a front-office role previously held by Danny Ainge, who is now with the Utah Jazz.
