Udoka has a unique and impressive resume. He spent time playing overseas and in the NBA with the Lakers, Knicks, Blazers, Spurs and Kings. Udoka wanted to continue his playing career but Gregg Popovich convinced him to retire and join the legendary coach’s staff in San Antonio. He’d been there since 2012, rising to become one of Popovich’s top assistants before joining the Sixers ahead of the 2019-20 season. He’s interviewed with multiple NBA teams and it seems like only a matter of time before he lands a head job.
