Right after the Boston Celtics found Udoka guilty of violating the team’s policy, they decided to suspend him in September, just a week before the 2022-23 NBA season. After getting the suspension letter, Ime gave his statement which said,

“I want to apologize to our players, fans, the entire Celtics organization, and my family for letting them down, “I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team’s decision.”

The head coach further added,
