Coach Song Gaila: It s hard to explain why Reddish s NBA career has stopped and is optimistic about his integration into the European arena

Lithuania Xiorii Basketball Club recently announced that the team signed the 2019 No. 10 pick Kam Redish.

Redish has played for the Lakers in the past two seasons, and has previously played for the Trail Blazers, Knicks and Hawks respectively. In three of his six NBA seasons, Reddish averaged double-digit points per game.

Regarding Reddish's joining, Siolia head coach Song Gera said: "It's hard to say why his NBA career is currently in a standstill. I've seen many outstanding players fail to gain a foothold there, which involves too many factors. His athleticism and physical condition are absolutely at the top level. I have no doubt that in our team, he can play multiple positions. European basketball is changing and the pace of the game is getting faster and faster, so we firmly believe that he can fit in here."

In the six seasons in the NBA, the Siolia new player averaged 8.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. In the just-passed 2024-2025 season, he averaged 18 minutes per game with the Los Angeles Lakers, contributing 3.2 points and 2 rebounds. Reddish's peak in personal data appeared in the 2021-2022 season, when he played for the Hawks, averaging 11.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.
