Lakers’ JJ Redick Hosts Basketball Clinic For Kids Impacted By L.A. Wildfires​on March 31, 2025 at 3:34 pm

Sweet gesture from Lakers head coach JJ Redick — he held a special basketball clinic on his day off on Sunday for kids who have been impacted by the recent wildfires in L.A.

Los Angeles’ sideline manager put on the one-of-a-kind camp in conjunction with his LA Strong Sports foundation … inviting a bunch of little tykes to help learn ball at the Lakers’ practice facility in El Segundo.

Redick spoke to the campers before giving them pointers on jump shots and defense … and check out some of the pics the Lakers shared from the event — everyone seemed thrilled.

The fires, of course, directly impacted Redick … he lost his Pacific Palisades home in one of the blazes — and he was super emotional talking about the destruction in the days after learning the news.

Redick’s kids, too, lost a massive NBA memorabilia collection in the January inferno … though throughout the last few months, players have been helping them build it back up.

Don’t expect Sunday’s camp to be the last good deed from Redick — he and his foundation have promised to help build “a safe, welcoming space where individuals and families can come together to play, grow, and compete” in L.A.
