Assistant Coach Mazzulla Named Celtics Head Coach
Breaking News: C's Tap 34-Year-Old as Official Successor to Suspended Udoka
Overview
On January 30, 2023, following the recent suspension of head coach Ime Udoka for the entirety of the 2022-23 season, the Boston Celtics have appointed seven-year NBA veteran Ime Udoka as their new head coach. This marks a significant shift in the team's leadership, as Udoka becomes the franchise's 18th head coach.
Udoka, who spent the previous seven seasons as an assistant coach for the Brooklyn Nets, San Antonio Spurs, and Philadelphia 76ers, will take over the reins of a Boston team that boasts a rich history and high expectations. The Celtics have won 17 NBA championships, the most of any franchise, and are one of the most respected and renowned teams in the league.
With Udoka's appointment, the Celtics hope to reignite their title aspirations and build upon their recent success. The team reached the NBA Finals in 2022 under Udoka's predecessor, Brad Stevens, but fell short to the Golden State Warriors in six games. Udoka will now be tasked with guiding the Celtics back to the championship while also navigating the challenges of leading a young and talented roster.
