Prior to the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday, JJ Redick was unable to comment on the team’s trade for Mark Williams as it had not yet been made official by the NBA.

JJ Redick played 13 games with the Dallas Mavericks after he was dealt to the team at the NBA's trade deadline in 2021. Now, nearly four years later, he's the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers and will coach his former star teammate, Luka Dončić.

Luka Doncic is now expected to make his debut with the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night against the Utah Jazz, coach JJ Redick says.
