Jay Williams Wife Nikki Bonacorsi

Jay Williams is married to his wife Nikki Bonacorsi. The couple is even parents to 2 lovely children. 

It appears Williams did not do enough research before his tweet on the Celtics. He claimed the new coach, Ime Udoka, as the first coach of color- only to find out there were nearly 5 others before Udoka. 

In fact, Celtics was the first NBA team to hire a person of color back in 1966.
