New Lakers Coach JJ Redick Responds To Black Woman's Claim That He Called Her N-Word
HuffPost
A former Duke student made the accusation on social media.
New Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick reportedly denied a claim that he called a woman who worked with the Duke basketball team the N-word.
“It never happened,” a spokesperson from Redick’s camp told TMZ Sports on Tuesday.
Halleemah Nash, a Duke alum whose LinkedIn account says she paired the university’s players with a sports mentorship program when Redick starred there in the aughts, took to X after the ex-NBA player was introduced as the Lakers’ coach.
“I’ve only been called the N word to my face by a white man once in my life and it was on the campus of Duke University while I was doing work with the basketball team,” she wrote. “And today he was named the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. What a world.”
Nash, who now runs a company that fosters job opportunities for “generation Z talent of color,” elaborated on her viral post several hours later.
