Redick, who currently plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, is one of a number of basketball stars who will be appearing in the movie. He says on the podcast, “Myself, Austin Rivers, Matt Barnes, Spencer Hawes, and DeAndre Jordan … later this afternoon, the five of us, along with five Knicks players are going to be back at MSG and we’re going to be filming a scene for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sequel, Half Shell.”
