After being released by the Celtics, Ime Udoka is now being considered a serious candidate to replace former Toronto Raptors head coach Nick Nurse. Udoka has a long relationship with the Raptors team president Masai Ujiri and is expected to play a prominent role in the team's coaching search. Udoka had a successful first season as head coach of the Celtics, leading them to the NBA Finals before they lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games.
