Luka Doncic Makes Feelings Clear About Lakers Head Coach JJ Redick

Originally posted on Fastbreak on SI | By Ben Stinar | Last updated Feb 13, 2025 9:57 PM ET

Luka Doncic has played two games for the Los Angeles Lakers after the blockbuster trade with the Dallas Mavericks.

While he's only spent a short amount of time with the franchise, Doncic made it clear he is a big fan of the team's head coach (JJ Redick) when he met with the media (after Wednesday's 131-119 loss to the Utah Jazz).

Doncic: "He's a great coach. I know it's only his first year, but it don't feel like it. It feels like he's been here for 15 years. Props to him and I can't wait to be coached more by him."

Through his first two games with Los Angeles, Doncic has averages of 15.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per contest while shooting 40.7% from the field 26.7% from the three-point range.

The Lakers are 1-1 (with both matchups coming against the Jazz).
