After losing their home in California wildfires, JJ Redick’s sons were gifted jerseys by Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama, showing great support.

After the Spurs beat the Lakers, Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama surprised Redick’s sons, Knox and Kai, with their game jerseys. It was such a heartfelt gesture that really touched Redick.
He mentioned how Chris is like a brother to him, having played together on the Clippers. It’s moments like these that show the bond in the league.
Paul called Redick before the game to let him know they planned to give the boys jerseys, regardless of the game’s outcome. After the Spurs’ win, they walked over to the boys, who were sitting courtside, and handed them the signed jerseys.
The kids were over the moon! They even posed for pictures with the Spurs stars, holding their new treasures. Redick shared that his sons had lost a lot of their basketball memorabilia in the fire, so this meant a lot to them.
Before coaching the Lakers, Redick had a podcast where many players visited, and his sons collected jerseys and cards from those guests. Losing all that was tough for them.
Redick also mentioned that Austin Reaves, another Lakers player, left jerseys for his sons too. The family had to evacuate as the fire spread through their Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
Redick admitted he wasn’t ready for the destruction they faced. He described the scene as complete devastation, saying he had to take a different route to see what was left of their home.
He reflected on the irreplaceable items lost, like a special art project his son made. It’s the memories that hurt the most. The wildfires have caused significant damage, displacing thousands and tragically taking lives. It’s a tough time for many in the area.
