Overview

• General manager Rob Pelinka announced Redick’s extension ahead of the 2025-26 season, with terms undisclosed.
• ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the agreement is a multi-year deal, though the team has not confirmed specifics.
• Redick noted the rarity of a first-time head coach receiving an extension and thanked Lakers leadership for its support.
• Pelinka cited “confidence and belief” in Redick after a 50-32 season and a No. 3 West seed that reinforced his status as the team’s on-court coaching leader.
• Pelinka declined to discuss Rui Hachimura’s contract talks; Hachimura is in the final year of a three-year, $51 million deal, is extension-eligible until Oct. 21, and is part of a roster built for near-term flexibility with only four of 14 players guaranteed for 2026-27, a structure local reporting says could inform future trade considerations.
