Udoka was suspended for the entire 2022 season for breaking team policies. Eventually, he was replaced by Joe Mazzulla, who was named permanent coach moving forward.
“ESPN Sources: Ime Udoka has agreed to a deal to become the next Houston Rockets coach,” Wojnarowski reported.
“Rockets and Udoka moved fairly quickly toward each other after initial meeting, sources tell ESPN. Udoka and GM Rafael Stone kept talking on job. Both sides had some strong options in the marketplace but a deal got done in the last 24 hours to land Udoka with the Rockets. Young talent, cap space and a 14 percent chance at the No. 1 overall pick were part of a strong case to lure Udoka.”
The Rockets tied the San Antonio Spurs for the worst record in the Western Conference this season (22-60).
They hope Udoka can get them in the right direction.
