JJ Redick evaluated his first season as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and reflected on the ups and downs of the year.

After seeing his players stumble in the fourth quarter throughout a 4-1 first-round series loss to the Timberwolves, Redick says improved conditioning is a must.

The Los Angeles Lakers were surprisingly dumped out of the 2025 NBA Playoffs in five games in the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves. In the aftermath, head coach JJ Redick stated that Lakers players needed to get into "championship shape" in the offseason, and Robert Horry called him out for that on Nightcap.
