No final decision has been made on the length of a suspension, but internal discussions have included scenarios that would keep Udoka out for the entirety of the 2022-2023 season, sources told ESPN. https://t.co/Vnn2wWVcKA

Udoka was hired by the Celtics in the summer of 2011. Udoka worked with the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets.

The C's won their first Eastern Conference title in five years under Udoka's leadership. The Boston Celtics lost to the Golden State Warriors.

The Celtics will open their season on October 18th against the 76ers. It's possible that Udoka won't be at that game.
