Udoka was suspended from his role as head coach of the Boston Celtics for the entire upcoming 2022-23 season after the alleged affair was revealed.

According to TMZ, the Celtics employee with whom the head coach had an affair was in charge of all his travel arrangements.​ Meanwhile, Udoka's partner Nia Long, who recently relocated to Boston to begin looking for a home for their family, was apparently taken by surprise by the affair and had no idea that Udoka had been unfaithful until lately.​ According to Complex, Udoka’s mistress was thoroughly involved in helping facilitate Long’s move to Boston. After hearing the news, according to PEOPLE, Long said on social media, "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."
