Lakers News: JJ Redick Hopeful LeBron James Won't Miss Too Much Time

Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick shared his reaction to LeBron James' sciatica injury and how the team will operate going forward.

As a new season approaches, teams are taking advantage of training camp and preseason to build on-court reps. However, the Los Angeles Lakers are not reaping those same benefits due to LeBron James' sciatica injury on his right side, which will cause him to miss a few weeks.

Fortunately, the team has a better depth on the roster than last year and is more prepared to bear James' absence, with Luka Doncic in top shape and ready to lead.

After practice on Saturday, Redick shared his initial reaction to LeBron missing extended time and how the team will manage in his absence.
