After the unforgettable entrance onto the court together of LeBron James and his son Bronny with the Los Angeles Lakers, the Californian club has made a firm decision regarding the future participation of the 20-year-old young man in the first team. Thus, Bronny will rotate between the NBA and the NBA G-League, where he could debut this Saturday with the South Bay Lakers, an affiliate of the Los Angeles entity.
The plan of the franchise that has won 17 rings is to play all its home games with Southbay and alternate calls with the Lakers, so that the rookie will have fewer opportunities to share the court with his father, a four-time NBA champion.
At the moment, Bronny James has scored a total of four points in three games, two against the Cleveland Cavaliers accompanied by two assists, in addition to two more points against the Memphis Grizzlies. His balance in field goals is a mere 16% in the 13 minutes he has played with the first team, with an average of three minutes played and one point per game.
The Lakers’ desire for Bronny is not something new, since the coach of the Californian club, JJ Redick, already communicated last month that the plan has always been that. In this way, the person selected in 55th place in the 2023 Draft by the Los Angeles franchise must gain experience in the development league and earn his opportunities in the NBA.
