Shams Charania followed up on Woj’s report by saying that Udoka had an “improper intimate and consensual relationship with a female member of the team staff.”

It’s unclear how long Udoka will be suspended but there are reportedly internal talks that he could miss the whole season.

Fans were not happy with Udoka for cheating on Nia Long.
Cheating on Nia Long should get him a year long ban in my opinion. https://t.co/Npm6VAp0jt

Losing Nia long & having your best player get locked up by Andrew Wiggins is a crazy way to end your 2022

Cheating while you got Nia long at the crib is a bigger L than losing in the finals with all due respect
