Why Does Ime Udoka Wear a Mask? Here’s What We Know

In January 2022, Ime acknowledged the world’s current state and stated that, as a coach, he must protect himself and his players, and he does that by wearing a mask.

“The one thing I have done is worn my mask when I’m sitting down as much as I can and just consciously remember that,” he said via NESN. “It’s nothing that you’re going out of your way, but you do have to be safe and be smart any chance that you can.”
