With the Los Angeles Lakers on the brink of elimination from the 2025 NBA playoffs, coach JJ Redick took such offense to a question about his coaching that he stormed out of his pregame presser on Wednesday.

LA Lakers coach JJ Redick abruptly ended his pregame press conference before Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

That's really come into focus in the last two days, since Redick made the decision in Game 4 in Minnesota to play all five players in his lineup for the entire 24 minutes of the second half, including 40-year-old LeBron James and guard Luka Doncic, who was still recovering from a nasty stomach virus.
