Bronny James is set to join the South Bay Lakers of the G League soon after a brief appearance with the Los Angeles Lakers during their recent home game against the Philadelphia 76ers. In a victory that ended 116-106, James played just over a minute when Coach JJ Redick made substitutions in the game’s final moments. Despite the eager anticipation from fans, he did not manage to score or record any significant statistics during this time.
In his previous game against the Memphis Grizzlies, James managed to score two points, showcasing his potential as a rookie second-round pick. His brief stint on the court against the 76ers yielded no official stats other than a minus-4 in the plus/minus column, a score shared with other players who entered alongside him.
Looking ahead, Bronny is expected to make his G League debut on Saturday, where he will play for the South Bay Lakers against the Salt Lake City Stars at the UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo, California. Although specific details on his playing time have not yet been disclosed, this transition to the G League presents an important opportunity for his development and growth as a player.
This upcoming game could serve as a pivotal moment for Bronny, allowing him to gain more experience and confidence on the court. With the support from fans and coaches, he has the potential to showcase his skills and evolve into a notable player in the league.
