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.

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick received some consideration for the NBA Coach of the Year award. The NBA released the final results in the voting for the award, which was won by Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson. Redick finished sixth in the voting, earning five third place votes.
