Lakers Coach Redick Erupts, Earns Technical
2 Nov
Summary
- JJ Redick received his first technical foul of the season.
- Redick was fined $2,000 for arguing a no-call.
- Luka Doncic set an NBA record with his performance.
JJ Redick, head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, received his first technical foul of the season during the team's 131-125 win against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. The infraction occurred with 6:27 remaining in the fourth quarter after Redick vehemently contested a perceived missed foul on a Luka Doncic layup.
Under NBA rules, Redick will incur a $2,000 fine for this technical foul, his first of the year. The league mandates a $5,000 fine and a one-game suspension for a coach's 16th technical foul. This incident did not appear to affect Luka Doncic, who delivered a historic performance with 45 points, 15 rebounds, six assists, five steals, and five three-pointers made.
Following the game, Redick voiced his frustration, accusing the Raptors of "grabbing and holding" throughout the contest, which he believes led to many of the Lakers' 24 turnovers. Despite Toronto's league-leading defensive pressure, which resulted in 26 fouls called against them on Sunday, the Lakers ultimately secured the victory.
