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.

Mic drops, bold lineup decisions and a massive midseason trade highlighted Redick's debut season, which ended in an early playoff exit.

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.
