Rockets hire Ime Udoka as new head coach after suspension from Celtics

The Houston Rockets have hired Ime Udoka as their new head coach to replace Stephen Silas.
Udoka was suspended for the 2022-23 season by the Boston Celtics due to an inappropriate relationship with a female staffer.
Udoka led the Celtics to the NBA Finals in his lone season as head coach last season.
The Rockets investigated Udoka's departure from Boston before offering him the job.
Udoka takes over a rebuilding Rockets team with young talent like Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr.
