I couldn’t find any credible reports that JJ Redick has submitted a resignation letter as Lakers head coach. In fact, all recent sources indicate otherwise—he remains firmly in place. 🏀
Here’s the latest housekeeping on his role:
-
JJ Redick was hired on June 24, 2024, as the Lakers’ head coach—his first ever NBA coaching gig—with no formal coaching experience
-
Despite a first-round playoff exit in April 2025, the organization reaffirmed its confidence in him. The Athletic and Basketnews both reported the Lakers consider his job secure and are optimistic about his future
-
Rob Pelinka praised Redick’s leadership, emphasizing his “innovative,” “unique” approach and strong basketball IQ .
Redick has had ups and downs—Charles Barkley was critical in January 2025, calling him a “dead man walking” after Redick’s remarks on media narratives and media ratings but that didn’t cost him his position.
Bottom line: There’s no evidence Redick has resigned or plans to. If you’ve seen rumors floating around, they’re unsubstantiated. But if something credible does break, I’ll keep an eye out and update you right away.
Would you like a deeper dive into his first season performance, contract details, or reactions from players and analysts?
