The Los Angeles Lakers hired 15-year NBA veteran JJ Redick to be their new head coach last month.

He retired after the 2020-21 season and this will be his first time at the helm.

On Tuesday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Lakers have made a new addition to Redick's staff.

Via Wojnarowski: "ESPN Sources: Lindsey Harding — the G League coach of the year — has agreed on a deal to become an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers. Harding leaves the Kings to rejoin JJ Redick, whom she spent time with on the Sixers staff and as a Duke All-American."
