Look, plenty of basketball was played on Tuesday and will continue to be played on Wednesday, Thursday, and so on. Charania noted that the team would do its due diligence on Udoka - who was suspended for the 2022-23 season by the Celtics for an improper relationship with a subordinate - but hardly an hour had passed before both Charania and Woj reported that a deal for Udoka to coach the Nets was all but done. Jacque Vaughn was immediately named Brooklyn’s acting head coach, but within the hour, both Shams Charania and Adrian Wojnarowski had reported that the Nets may hire suspended Boston Celtics’ head coach Ime Udoka as Nash’s replacement.
