While fans of the Boston Celtics have for the most part moved on from the Ime Udoka scandal that nearly upended the start of a much-anticipated season, the team itself has yet to resolve the suspended Celtics head coach’s situation. During this process, the NBA has largely remained in the background, monitoring the situation with minimal public discussion.
But on Saturday, NBA commissioner Adam Silver fielded questions about team player and staff misconduct from the Celtics Wire, including that of Udoka with Boston, Detroit Pistons Assistant GM Rob Murphy, and former San Antonio Spurs guard Josh Primo.
Regarding the Primo incident in which the player allegedly exposed himself repeatedly to a team psychologist in therapy, Silver hinted the league had worked more closely with the team than with Boston or Detroit.
