Lakers Coaching Staff Bolstered with Experienced Additions
With the Los Angeles Lakers aiming for championship success, new head coach JJ Redick has strategically expanded his coaching team with seasoned professionals.
Redick’s latest recruit is Lindsey Harding from the Sacramento Kings, who brings a wealth of experience as a former WNBA player and G League Coach of the Year. Her history with Redick dates back to their time at Duke and with the Philadelphia 76ers. Harding’s appointment marks her as the second female coach in Lakers history. Alongside Harding, Redick has also enlisted the expertise of former head coaches Nate McMillan and Scott Brooks, adding significant depth to the coaching bench.
Additionally, the Lakers welcome back Greg St. Jean, a familiar face who previously worked under Frank Vogel. St. Jean’s return follows his recent coaching roles with the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns. This blend of new and returning talent forms a robust support system for Redick, as the Lakers focus on overcoming the challenges posed by a static roster through strong leadership and coaching acumen.
