LOS ANGELES (AP) — JJ Redick clarified that he watched feature films at the car wash.

Baron Davis discovered it there on Saturday and posted about it on the social platform X. Davis, a first-round pick in 1999, played 13 seasons in the NBA, including for the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers.

“I just ran into @jj_redick at the car wash. He had the laptop and was watching a movie!!!!” Player-coach!!! Lakers in great hands,” Davis wrote.

Redick, in his first year as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, said a Lakers spokesman told him about the social media post before the team was scheduled to host the Sacramento Kings for a second straight game.

“It's the circumstances of playing back-to-back,” he said when asked how often it was for him to watch feature films in public. “Basically, I spent last night and this morning trying to get the hang of last night's game and looking forward to today a little bit. This morning was no different.”

He said his two sons played basketball in the afternoon and the car wash was next door.

“Very efficient use of time,” he said. “I watch a lot of films, but that's not normal, no. Thank you, Baron.”

The Lakers defeated the Sacramento Kings 131-127 on Saturday night, earning their first 3-0 start since 2010-11.
