Ime Udoka has led the Celtics to one of the best half-season turnarounds in NBA history. And now he stands in his former team’s way.
In his first season as a head coach, former Nets assistant Ime Udoka has led the Celtics to one of the best half-season turnarounds in NBA history. And now he stands in his former team’s way, starting Sunday with Game 1 of the first-round playoff series at TD Garden.
After bouncing around as a player with the Lakers, Knicks, Trail Blazers and abroad, Udoka found a home as a glue guy in San Antonio playing for Gregg Popovich, with whom he got his first assistant coaching gig in 2012. Then came a season with the 76ers, and another under Steve Nash on the Nets before finally getting his shot as head coach with the Celtics.Ime Udoka spent the 2020-21 season with the Nets before the Celtics hired him to be their head coach.“I got to know him pretty well.
“Yeah, he’s done a great job for sure,” Nash said. “Having said that they’ve had the longest run of health that group’s had for four or five years. So I think that’s part of it too.
