Lakers head coach JJ Redick addresses questions about the team’s starting lineup and makes comments about its racial composition. In a press interaction that references the viral “Snowtime” nickname tied to Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic’s group, Redick says the Lakers’ starters “will not be white guys.”
Redick’s remarks come alongside discussion of which players are expected to make up the Los Angeles starting five. Multiple outlets report the lineup is anticipated to include Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and Walker Kessler, with additional spots still being determined. Fox describes the exchange as involving an awkward quip, while Yahoo frames it as a direct statement about how many of the starters will be white.
Across the coverage, the common points are that Redick is responding publicly to the “Snowtime” conversation and is emphasizing that the Lakers’ starting group will not fit a “all white” description. The outlets differ mainly in how they characterize the tone of the comments and the specific framing of the quote, but they report the same core statement.
