Lakers Start Training Camp Under Coach JJ Redick

The Los Angeles Lakers kicked off their training camp under new head coach J.J. Redick, showcasing a vibrant atmosphere that contrasts sharply with previous seasons under Frank Vogel and Darvin Ham. Reporter Jovan Buha noted that the energy was at an 'all-time high,' with practices conducted at NBA-level intensity, supported by music to enhance the mood. Redick established a clear starting lineup early, featuring D'Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, LeBron James, Rui Hachimura, and Anthony Davis, signaling a shift in strategy. Bronny James also participated in his first practice with the team, displaying improvement in his shooting despite facing skepticism regarding his performance at USC. LeBron emphasized the importance of maintaining consistency in their playing style, while Redick focused on efficient use of practice time and defining the team's identity. The Lakers are optimistic about their season, with their first preseason game scheduled against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
