JJ Redick Drops Surprising Praise for Lakers’ Hidden Gem After Electrifying Game vs. Trail Blazers
Ever wonder what it takes to steal the spotlight when the big guns are sidelined? Monday night’s Lakers vs. Trail Blazers game handed us that exact story — minus Luka Doncic, Austin Reaves, and LeBron James, many figured the Blazers had a walk in the park. But then, Nick Smith Jr. came out firing like a man possessed, lighting up the scoreboard with 25 points, including a near-perfect night from downtown. Now, here’s a player who wasn’t just hustling through the motions — nope, he was battling sickness so fierce he spent halftime hugging the tunnel’s porcelain throne. Yet, Smith’s grit and poise left head coach JJ Redick gushing, calling him “really gutsy, really tough mentally.” This wasn’t just another off-the-cuff breakout; it was a declaration from a young guy usually flying under the radar, daring us all to rethink what “next man up” truly means in the NBA grind. So if you’re asking, could this be the spark that redefines Smith’s place on this chaotic Lakers roster? I’m thinking, oh, most definitely.
