Last year, he was terminated as Coach by Bolton Celtics after his affair scandal with a female member of staff. The Nets were supposed to hire Udoka as their new head coach but chose Jacque Vaughn after the scandal.
The controversy also led to Long ending their relationship after spending 12 years together. During the height of the scandal, the actress criticized the Celtics for the way they publicized the affair and the firing.

Nia Long chose to protect her peace after her ex-fiancé Ime Udoka’s cheating scandal last year. On Saturday, Long posted an Instagram quote, “The best revenge is no revenge, Move on. Be happy.”
The “Best Man” actor’s post was well received by several celebrities, who shared supportive comments and compliments. Talk show host Robinson Peete commented, “Yes, Sis! Revenge perpetuates toxicity.”
Former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Tanya Sam wrote, “Amen. Bitter or better.” One fan commented, “Always stay friendly; the best revenge is your paper. I’m working on it.”
His cryptic message seems to be tied to his highly publicized breakup with his fiancée, Ime Udoka.

Long’s post about not taking revenge comes after the Houston Rockets announced Udoka as their new head coach. Udoka got the job after he was fired from the Boston Celtics last year due to an affair scandal with a female employee.
The team announced that he had violated the company’s code of conduct and suspended him before finally terminating his role. Subsequent reports on the scandal stated that Udoka also made negative and unflattering comments to the women he was involved with.
When the scandal became public, Udoka issued a statement apologizing for his actions. He wrote, “I want to apologize to the players, the fans, the entire Celtics organization, and my family for letting them down. I apologize for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team’s decision. Out of respect for all involved, I will not comment further.”
There are also rumors that the Nets want to hire Udoka as their new head coach after they fired Steve Nash earlier in the season. However, the scandal forced them to reconsider and go with Jacque Vaughn.

Shortly after Udoka’s affair became public, Long’s representative confirmed in a statement to People magazine that the actress has ended their relationship of more than 12 years. The source said, “The situation is unfortunate and painful, but Nia is focused on her children and rebuilding her life.”
Long and Udoka began their relationship in 2010 and announced their engagement in 2015, but never married. About a week before their breakup became public, Long spoke to her Hollywood Reporter about the cheating scandal.
He said, “I feel like my heart has jumped out of my body.” Long and Udoka have a son, Kez, and the “Best Man” actress has a previous son, Massai, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend and actor Massai Dorsey.

The “You People” actress also discussed the effects of Long’s cheating and the resulting scandal on 11-year-old Kez. She said she was devastated and “still has moments where it’s not easy for her.”
Long also said, “I think the most heartbreaking thing about all of this is seeing my son’s face when the Boston Celtics organization decided to go public with a very personal situation.” The team did not respond to the actress’ claims that they could have been more discreet.
However, Celtics owner Wys Grousbeck spoke about the decision to suspend Udoka for the rest of the season. He said, per Fox News“This feels right, but there are no clear guidelines for any of this. I take a lot of advice from partners like [president of basketball operations] Brad [Stevens] and others. We collectively came to this and got there, but it wasn’t clear what to do.”
