Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick offered a new update on rookie forward Adou Thiero after the team assigned him to the NBA G League for further development. The move follows Thiero's appearance in a preseason game against the Golden State Warriors at Chase Center on October 6, 2026, where he saw playing time as part of the Lakers' evaluation process.
Redick indicated that the G League stint will allow Thiero to gain consistent minutes and refine his game in a competitive environment. The 2026 draft pick has shown flashes of athleticism and defensive potential during training camp and preseason action.
