“Last night, without understanding all the truths, I spoke on Ime Udoka’s defense and after learning the truths after I spoke, I removed what I published due to the fact that this circumstance in Boston is deep, it’s unpleasant, it’s 100 times uglier than any of us believed,” Barnes stated.

“Some things occurred that I can’t excuse, I can’t back, and it’s not my location to inform you what occurred,” he continued. “If it winds up coming out, it winds up coming out. But that is the reason that I removed my post last night due to the fact that after I published it, I got a call from somebody who ran all the information and s**t is deep. Praying for everyone included, hope everybody survives this.”

After he initially heard the news, Barnes at first published a message stating he was shocked that Udoka was suspended as head coach for the Celtics after the scandal emerged.

“I played in the league for a long period of time. Anyone who played in the league can inform you: this is a really typical circumstance,” Matt described at the time. “This is not brand-new news for individuals who have actually remained in the league or perhaps around companies.”
