Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick made a clear case for Luka Doncic in the NBA’s MVP conversation, saying Doncic should win the award if the Lakers close the regular season playing as well as they have lately.
Redick tied his endorsement directly to the team’s recent form, emphasizing that a continued strong finish would strengthen Doncic’s candidacy. His comments reflect the Lakers’ current momentum as the regular season winds down.

Redick’s stance centered on the idea that if Los Angeles maintains its current level of play through the end of the schedule, Doncic’s impact should be recognized with the league’s top individual honor.
The remarks come with the regular season nearing its conclusion, when late surges and sustained performance often shape award discussions. Redick did not expand beyond that condition, keeping his focus on the Lakers continuing their recent hot stretch.
