He most recently served as an analyst for ESPN. Redick played college basketball for the Duke Blue Devils, winning many individual awards, including the Naismith College Player of the Year. Selected 11th overall by the Orlando Magic in the 2006 NBA draft, he played for 15 seasons in the NBA with six different teams. In 2024, Redick was appointed head coach of the Lakers.

In college and his professional career, Redick was known for his excellent three-point and free-throw shooting. He set Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) career records for most points and most ACC tournament points. Redick set several records at Duke, including all-time leading scorer and most points in a season. He holds a few NCAA free-throw-percentage records and several ACC records.

After being drafted by the Magic, he played for seven seasons in Orlando, followed by a short spell with the Milwaukee Bucks, then four seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers. He signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2017, and another the following year. In 2019, Redick signed a two-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans. He was traded to the Dallas Mavericks in 2021. After 15 seasons in the NBA, Redick retired on September 21, 2021. Redick holds single-season three-point field goal records for several of the teams he played for.

In 2016, Redick became the first active NBA player and the second active professional athlete to start a weekly podcast during the regular season. He later co-founded the media company ThreeFourTwo Productions.
