Despite all the injuries the Los Angeles Lakers have endured during the 2025-26 season, head coach JJ Redick has managed to keep the team afloat. Redick himself struggled to assess the first half of the season due to players being in and out, but did acknowledge they have been making some progress.
The Lakers enter the second half of the season with a 33-21 record, good for fifth place in the Western Conference.
Redick has had to lean on his star trio to get Los Angeles’ offense going, but defensively the team is still a work in progress.
