After being suspended by the Boston Celtics for the entirety of the 2022-2023 NBA season, head coach Ime Udoka may soon be finding a new home with the Brooklyn Nets after their departure with Steve Nash.
The head coaching search didn’t last long for the Nets as reports have now circulated that they’ve narrowed their candidates to just Udoka and former Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder. The Nets could possibly name him as their new head coach within the next 24 hours according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Last season, Udoka led the Celtics to a first round sweep against the Nets, which then resulted in seven game series wins against the then-defending champions Milwaukee Bucks and the first seeded Miami Heat.
Leading the Celtics to the NBA Finals was pinnacle success for the first year head coach, but then this offseason, allegations surfaced around a former employee and Udoka having ‘inappropriate relations,’ leading to the one-year suspension.
Altough it isn’t finalized as of yet, Udoka could soon lead the helm of another franchise with high expectations.
