The Charlotte Hornets are interviewing JJ Redick for their head coach job, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. Redick, a 15-year NBA veteran and former Duke star, has shown interest in making the transition to coaching in recent years.
Redick has reportedly interviewed for the Toronto Raptors job last year and was also a candidate for the Philadelphia 76ers job, which went to Nick Nurse. Since retiring from the NBA after the 2021 season, Redick has become a top NBA analyst for ESPN and has hosted his own podcast. He has also collaborated with LeBron James on a podcast.
The 39-year-old Redick played 15 seasons in the NBA and averaged 12.8 points per game during his career. He has a deep understanding of basketball and has a strong desire to become a head coach.
