JJ Redick Agrees to Become Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach

After Darvin Ham's Departure

Seven weeks after firing Darvin Ham, the Los Angeles Lakers have found their next head coach in JJ Redick.

Redick, a former NBA player and current ESPN NBA analyst, has agreed to a four-year contract with the Lakers, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Redick played 15 seasons in the NBA, averaging 12.8 points per game. He was known for his shooting ability, hitting 44.5% of his three-point attempts.

Redick retired from the NBA in 2021 and joined ESPN as an NBA analyst. He has been praised for his insights and analysis.

The Lakers are hoping that Redick can bring his winning ways to Los Angeles. The team has struggled in recent years, missing the playoffs for the past two seasons.

Redick is a young and up-and-coming coach. He has a lot of potential, and the Lakers are hoping that he can help them return to contention.
