The Boston Celtics franchise suspended its head coach for the entire upcoming season following a report of misconduct in the workplace that violated the professional basketball organization’s code of conduct for employees.
Ime Udoka finally spoke out following the announcement of his suspension for the upcoming NBA season over allegations he violated the organization’s code of conduct by having a consensual affair with a fellow team staffer.
“I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team’s decision,” Udoka said in a brief statement.
Before the announcement, social media had found out that he had slept with a Celtics staff member and people immediately started to point the finger at Allison Feaster.
Shortly after the bombshell reports from a pair of renowned and trusted NBA insiders, photos of Allison Feaster began populating social media timelines to identify the Celtics staffer with whom Udoka reportedly had an “an improper intimate and consensual relationship,” as Shams Charania of the Athletic tweeted early Thursday morning.

She was not involved at all, according to one veteran NBA reporter.
“For those speculating and curious about the Celtics’ situation, Vice-President of Player Development and Organizational Growth Allison Feaster is not involved in this,” Marc Spears of Andscape and ESPN tweeted late Thursday morning.
Feaster, who was forced to limit comments on her Instagram, eventually took to her IG story and responded to the people who had her back in this situation.
Identified on the Celtics’ website as Vice President, Player Development and Organizational Growth, Feaster is a former basketball standout who starred at Harvard University and was the 5th overall pick in the 1998 WNBA draft.
