Former NBA player JJ Redick’s potential role as the Los Angeles Lakers’ new head coach has been subject to speculation for weeks, but recent reports suggest his contact with the team has been limited.
Despite widespread speculation linking Redick to the Lakers coaching vacancy, his communication with the organization has been sparse in the lead-up to their pursuit of UConn’s Dan Hurley.
With Hurley opting to remain at UConn, Redick once again emerges as a top candidate for the Lakers coaching position.
Insider reports indicate that Redick has maintained minimal contact with the Lakers, despite his earlier association as a frontrunner for the role.
According to NBA insider Brian Windhorst’s reporting on ESPN, Redick’s name has been consistently linked to the Lakers job, but his direct engagement with the team has been limited.
Despite the lack of direct communication, Redick’s candidacy for the Lakers coaching position remains prominent in discussions surrounding the team’s future leadership.
As the Lakers regroup in their coaching search following Hurley’s decision, Redick’s status as a potential candidate continues to generate intrigue.
While Redick has refrained from discussing the Lakers job publicly, his inclusion in the coaching conversation underscores the team’s ongoing pursuit of experienced leadership.
