As Lakers players walked off the court deflated, Redick headed to midcourt where Wembanyama and Chris Paul gave Redick’s sons, Knox and Kai, their jerseys. The children lost a number of treasured pieces of memorabilia in the Palisades fire. “(Chris Paul) called me this afternoon and said, ‘Vic and I are gonna go, whether you win or we win, we’re gonna go over and give the boys jerseys,’” Redick said. “He’s well-aware they’re huge NBA fans. … I ran a podcast out of my home for two years and all the players would come through and they would get either a jersey or a card signed. They had a collection of jerseys and cards, and they lost all that. So it was nice of them to do it. They now each have two because Austin (Reaves) was nice enough to leave a couple for them in his locker after practice the other day. So I just, again, appreciate all the love.” -via Los Angeles Times / January 14, 2025
