Rockets hire Ime Udoka as head coach, reports say

According to multiple media reports, the Houston Rockets hired Ime Udoka as their next head coach.

HOUSTON — Ime Udoka has been hired as the new coach of the Houston Rockets, a source familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Monday.

Udoka led the Celtics to the NBA Finals last season, then was suspended for this season after the disclosure of an inappropriate relationship with a female Celtics employee.

He replaces Stephen Silas, who was let go after three seasons.

The Rockets had the worst record in the previous two seasons and finished tied with the Spurs for the second-worst record this season, earning another lottery pick in this year’s draft.

Terms of the deal were not immediately available.
