The Charlotte Hornets are interviewing JJ Redick for their head coaching vacancy, The Athletic's Shams Charania reports.

Redick, 39, was a standout guard at Duke before embarking on a 15-season NBA career as a shooting specialist. Since retiring from the league in 2021, Redick has worked as NBA analyst at ESPN. He started as a studio analyst in 2021 before moving to game broadcasts in 2023. He was promoted to ESPN's No. 1 broadcast team alongside Mike Breen and Doris Burke this season.

Redick has never coached in a formal capacity. He developed an interest in coaching in recent years, per the report.
