Ime Sunday Udoka (/ˈiːmeɪ uːˈdoʊkə/ EE-may ooh-DOH-kə;[1] born August 9, 1977) is a Nigerian-American professional basketball coach and former player who is the head coach for the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Born in the United States, he represented the Nigeria national team during his playing career. After retiring as a player, Udoka served as an assistant coach with the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, and Brooklyn Nets before becoming the head coach of the Boston Celtics, whom he led to the 2022 NBA Finals. After Udoka was suspended for the entire 2022–23 season for engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a Celtics female employee, he was hired by the Rockets in April 2023.

Despite the death of his father during the preseason,[9] Udoka impressed the coaching staff with his defensive skills and made the team.[citation needed]

After having played in only 12 NBA games in his career, Udoka started all 75 games he played in during the 2006–07 season. He played 28.6 minutes per game while averaging 8.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 0.9 steals.[8]

Coaching career

On June 26, 2019, Udoka was hired as an assistant coach of the Philadelphia 76ers.[23] His head coach on the 76ers at the time, Brett Brown, also coached under Gregg Popovich for the Spurs, and both Udoka and Brown were on the same staff in the 2012–13 season.[24]

Brooklyn Nets (2020–2021)

On October 30, 2020, the Brooklyn Nets hired Udoka as an assistant coach.[25]

Boston Celtics (2021–2023)

2021–22 season

Udoka in 2021

On June 23, 2021, it was reported that the Boston Celtics had hired Udoka as their head coach, replacing Brad Stevens, who was promoted to President of Basketball Operations earlier that month.[26][27][28] The hiring became official five days later.[29][30][31] Stevens later stated that he hired Udoka as his own replacement as head coach since Udoka had "a great approachability."[32] He became the franchise's sixth African-American head coach, as well as the first head coach of African origin in NBA history.[33]

Udoka in 2022

Although the Celtics began the 2021–22 season with an 18–21 record, they began a turnaround in January and finished as the #2-seed in the Eastern Conference with a 51–31 record.[34][35][36] During the turnaround, Udoka earned two Eastern Conference Coach of the Month awards, one in February and another for March and April.[37][38] During the playoffs, the Celtics swept the Brooklyn Nets in the first round and then went on to beat the Milwaukee Bucks in seven games during the Eastern Conference Semifinals.[39][40] The Celtics went on to defeat the Miami Heat in seven games during the Eastern Conference Finals to make their first NBA Finals appearance since 2010.[41][42] However, the Celtics lost the 2022 NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors in six games despite a 2–1 lead.[43][44]

2022–23 season

On September 22, 2022, the Celtics suspended Udoka for the entire 2022–23 season for violating team policies.[45][46] He was disciplined for engaging in an improper intimate relationship with a female staff member.[47][48] Although the Celtics initially believed the relationship was consensual, the woman later accused Udoka of making unwanted comments towards her.[49][50] He issued an apology after being suspended, but Udoka chose not to resign from his position due to the violation.[51][52][53] Assistant coach Joe Mazzulla replaced Udoka as interim head coach.[54]

On February 16, 2023, Mazzulla was named the team's permanent head coach after leading the Celtics to a league-best 42–17 record at the NBA All-Star break, signaling the end of Udoka's tenure in Boston.[55][56][57]

Houston Rockets (2023–present)

2023–24 season

On April 25, 2023, Udoka was hired as head coach of the Houston Rockets.[1]

Udoka was named Western Conference Coach of the Month in March after the Rockets won 13 of their 15 games that month.[58][59] In his first season with the team, the Rockets finished with a 41–41 record and barely missed the playoffs.[60][61]

National team career

Udoka was a player on the Nigerian national team. At the 2006 FIBA World Championships, he led Nigeria in scoring, assists, and steals.[33] Udoka also played for Nigeria in the 2005 and 2011 FIBA Africa Championships, winning a bronze medal in both tournaments.[62]

Udoka has served as an assistant coach for USA Basketball under his Spurs head coach, Gregg Popovich. Udoka's coaching role on the 2019 FIBA World Cup team helped him build relationships with Celtics players Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart, who advocated for his hiring as the new Celtics head coach.[63] Udoka also coached for Team USA under Popovich at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, along with Celtics assistant Will Hardy.[64]

Personal life

Udoka's father, Vitalis, was of Nigerian descent,[9] which qualified Udoka for Nigerian citizenship. His older sister, Mfon, played in the WNBA. Udoka's mother, Agnes, who died in late 2011, was an American from Illinois.[65]

In February 2010, Udoka met actress Nia Long and they later began a relationship.[66] On November 7, 2011, Long gave birth to their first child, a son named Kez Sunday.[67] Udoka and Long got engaged in May 2015,[68][69][70] but they split in December 2022, a few months after Udoka's affair with a female Celtics staff member came to light.[71]
