JJ Redick doesn't have an ideal number of games in mind to get ready for the playoffs with the Dallas Mavericks, who were thinking postseason when they acquired the shooting guard with an expiring contract.
"The ideal number is the most amount of games possible," said Redick, who is recovering from a right heel injury that required an injection and last played March 3. "I'm a rhythm player and so I want to be in a good rhythm going into the playoffs."
The Mavericks made a deal just before the trading deadline March 25, getting Redick and Nicolo Melli from New Orleans for James Johnson, Wes Iwundu, a 2021 second-round draft pick and cash.
