The Boston Celtics suspended head coach Ime Udoka for the 2022-23 season, citing "violations of team policies."
Udoka has coached the Celtics for one season, leading the organization since former head coach Brad Stevens left the role to become president of basketball operations.
The Celtics have tapped assistant coach Joe Mazzulla to serve as interim head coach, ESPN reported, citing sources.
The team's top assistant coach, Will Hardy, left the team in June for a head coaching job with the Utah Jazz.
