J.J. Redick, the new coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, has denied an allegation that he called a Black woman a racial slur while he attended Duke University.
A fellow Duke alum, author Halleemah Nash, posted the allegation on X in a post that has now been viewed more than 25 million times.
In a follow-up post, Nash said she believes Redick has likely grown since he attended Duke from 2002 to 2006. This isn’t the first time the former NBA star has made news for alleged racial slurs. In 2018, Redick issued an apology after using a racial slur in a video for Chinese NBA fans. He claimed the slur was an accident, noting that he was “tongue-tied.”
