Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka announced the extension of head coach JJ Redick on Thursday.

Redick signed a four-year deal in June 2024. The details of the extension have not yet been announced.

The Lakers traded Anthony Davis in the middle of the 2024-25 season for superstar Luka Doncic, leaving a hole in their frontcourt. The Lakers plugged that hole with DeAndre Ayton in the offseason, but some more depth could become free after the upcoming season.

Per Tony Jones of the Athletic, the Utah Jazz aren't looking to extend longtime Lakers trade target Walker Kessler.
