The more and more reports that come out, it appears that Ime Udoka is simply not a good person.
Udoka, head coach of the Boston Celtics, was suspended for the entire NBA season for violations of team policies, the organization announced Thursday night. The team added that a decision on Udoka’s future with the Celtics will be made at a later date.
The news appeared out of nowhere for Udoka’s fiancée Nia Long, but one report seems to suggest it goes way deeper than that.
Not only did Udoka keep Long in the dark about his affair with the Celtics staffer, but according to TMZ, the Boston Celtics coach allowed her to move to Boston with her 10-year-old son just two weeks ago while knowing that his affair was going to go public.
“Sources connected to the team and the couple tell TMZ … Nia had moved to Boston with Kez, her 10-year-old son with Ime, just 2 weeks ago, and the couple was house hunting.
The sad twist for Nia is that when she moved, Ime was already fully aware his affair with a married front office staffer was about to blow up. We’re told Ime knew way back in July the team was aware of the affair, and was launching an investigation.
Meanwhile, we’re told Nia only found out about it in the last few days … and only because Ime knew it was about to go public.”
It’s not clear what the events mean for the relationship between Udoka and Long. In the meantime, she has released a statement on how thankful she is for the support.

“The outpouring of love and support from family, friends and the community during this difficult time means so much to me. I ask that my privacy be respected as I process the recent events. Above all, I am a mother and will continue to focus on my children,” Long told TMZ through her rep Shannon Barr.
