Celtics star Jaylen Brown 'shocked', 'confused' by Ime Udoka scandal

Celtics star Jaylen Brown admits he was blindsided by allegations against Boston head coach Ime Udoka... saying he was both 'shocked' and 'confused' by all this.

Brown made the revelation after being asked by reporters at the team's media day on Monday about his reaction when he found out that Udoka had been accused of having a consensual relationship with a member Celtics staff - all of this allegedly while he was still dating Nia Long.

"My first reaction, we were all shocked by what was going on," Brown said...before adding, "A little confused, but a lot of information wasn't being shared with us." < /p>

Brown - who has been with the Celtics for the past six seasons - said there has been no conversation between him and Udoka since the coach was suspended over the scandal.

Jayson Tatum also spoke about Udoka and the one-season suspension imposed on the C's head man... calling it "a lot to deal with".

"Going into this season," the star wing said, "you feel a certain way, and coming out last year, you're excited. Trying to do all those things."

"With everyone, always try to process everything, knowing that we start training tomorrow."

NBC Sports Boston reporter Amanda Pflugrad also called out the Celtics at the start of Monday's event...as well as social media users who posted the names of the employees to speculate on the identity of the staff member.
