Suspended Boston Celtics<\/a> head coach Ime Udoka and his longtime partner Nia Long have separated in the wake of a cheating scandal, according to a representative for the former couple.<\/p>\n

The development comes several months after the Celtics suspended Udoka for the 2022-2023 NBA season for violations of team policies<\/a> after he reportedly had an affair with a female staffer in the organization.<\/p>\n

“The Boston Celtics announced today that the team has suspended head coach Ime Udoka for the 2022-23 season for violations of team policies. A decision about his future with the Celtics beyond this season will be made at a later date. The suspension takes effect immediately,” the team said at the time.<\/p>\n

According to a report from People, Long and Udoka decided to call it quits on their relationship, but they remain focused on co-parenting their 11-year-old son, Kez.<\/p>\n

NIA LONG SOUNDS OFF ON IME UDOKA SCANDAL: ‘IT WAS DEVASTATING, AND IT STILL IS’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Udoka had an “intimate and consensual relationship with a female member” of the Celtics staff, The Athletic previously reported.<\/p>\n

The former Brooklyn Nets<\/a> and Philadelphia 76ers assistant coach released a statement shortly after the news broke to apologize to the players, fans and the Celtics franchise.<\/p>\n

“I want to apologize to our players, fans, the entire Celtics organization and my family for letting them down,” Udoka said. “I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team\u2019s decision. Out of respect for everyone involved, I will have no further comment.”<\/p>\n

Long recently sounded off on Udoka’s scandal<\/a> during in-depth interview with The Hollywood Reporter. The 51-year-old discussed her feelings of “devastation” that arose from the situation.<\/p>\n

“I think the most heartbreaking thing about all of this was seeing my son\u2019s face when the Boston Celtics organization decided to make a very private situation public,” Long said. “It was devastating, and it still is. He still has moments where it\u2019s not easy for him. If you\u2019re in the business of protecting women \u2014 I\u2019m sorry, no one from the Celtics organization has even called to see if I\u2019m OK, to see if my children are OK. It\u2019s very disappointing.”<\/p>\n

Long met Udoka when he was still playing in the NBA. Long\u00a0told Essence in 2015\u00a0that she had no plans to marry, and the pair never married<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Assistant coach Joe Mazzulla is serving as the team’s interim coach.<\/p>\n

The Celtics reached the NBA Finals<\/a> last season under Udoka’s leadership. The team’s success has carried over into this season. Boston sits at the top of the Eastern Conference with a league-best 20-5 record.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
