I asked Redick, who is in his 14th season and the first of a two-year, $26.5 million contract with the Pelicans, if the starting and stopping of NBA seasons caused by the novel coronavirus, and the uncertainty over the immediate future (next season, for instance) would impact how long he might want to play? “Actually that is a great question — the answer is yes,” Redick said. “First of all, I just turned 36, but I feel like I look at least 34 ½. I feel good still. I feel like I have years left in my body. As many of you know who have children and have a family, as they get older and you start missing milestones, it becomes harder to be away from them. I think as an athlete you want to have some sort of storybook ending. Most of us don’t get to have that. When you get towards the end, at least my thought process is as I get towards the end you sort of examine things in the moment. And, yeah, there’s uncertainty about next season and maybe even beyond that, it’s in the back of my mind about how much longer I want to play. “I don’t know what normal looks like for the foreseeable future,” Redick said. “None of us do. And so you’re just examining in real time with the information you have.”
