Hall of Fame coach Mike Krzyzewski has praised JJ Redick's development as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, according to a report from Lakers Wire published Friday.
The endorsement from Krzyzewski, who led Duke to five NCAA championships, carries significant weight in basketball circles. Redick, a former NBA sharpshooter and Duke alumnus under Krzyzewski, transitioned to coaching after a 15-year playing career.
Lakers Wire's Robert Marvi reported the comments on November 6, 2026, highlighting the mentorship connection between the two Duke products.
