Im Odoka has agreed to become the next head coach of the Houston Rockets.
Udoka was also a strong candidate for the Toronto Raptors head coaching position, while also being considered by the Atlanta Hawks and Brooklyn Nets for their jobs.
Udoka was subsequently suspended and fired by the Boston Celtics after an inappropriate workplace relationship was discovered. Udoka led the Celtics to a Finals appearance in his first season as head coach.
According to sources speaking to ESPN, “The Rockets are investigating the circumstances of Odoka’s departure with the league staff and league office.”
Nick Nurse and Sam Cassel were among the other candidates linked to the Rockets’ vacancy.
