We expected to see Nick Nurse land in Texas, but it’s finally Ime Udoka who becomes the new coach of the Rockets. Information reported by ESPN And The Athleticwhile he was part of the short list of Houston in the company of Kenny Atkinson, Adrian Griffin, Frank Vogel, James Borrego and Nick Nurse, therefore.
NBA finalist a year ago with the Celtics, the 45-year-old technician was then suspended and then dismissed by Boston, due to an extramarital affair with a member of his staff. Given his excellent job in Massachusetts, however, we could expect him to find a position on a bench soon, especially since he appeared on the shelves of Brooklyn and Atlanta during the season.
It is therefore a whole new challenge that is offered to Ime Udoka, because he takes the reins of a young team in reconstruction and guided by several nuggets, such as Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr. or Alperen Sengun. It remains to be seen whether he will be the man for the job to straighten out the Texas franchise, which has been squatting in the slums of the Western Conference for three years now.
