Los Angeles Lakers Eyeing JJ Redick as Front-Runner for Head Coach Position

The Los Angeles Lakers are focusing on JJ Redick as the leading candidate for their next head coach, according to The Athletic.

While no final decision has been made and the Lakers still have steps remaining in their head-coaching search process, indications strongly point to Redick being the preferred choice at this stage.

Over the past few weeks, the Lakers’ search has zeroed in on two main candidates: JJ Redick and Pelicans associate head coach James Borrego.

Redick had a face-to-face meeting with the Lakers three weeks ago, and Borrego recently impressed team officials during a second in-person interview last week.
