Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Bronny James will suit up in the G League for the South Bay Lakers, which was not unexpected. After sharing the court with his father LeBron on Opening Night and then later scoring his first basket in the NBA, the 20-year-old will also play in the developmental league with the Lakers’ G League affiliate.

"The Los Angeles Lakers have recalled guards Bronny James Jr. and Jalen Hood-Schifino and forward Maxwell Lewis from the South Bay Lakers," Arash Markazi of The Sporting Tribune posted on X. "All three are still expected to play in Saturday’s South Bay Lakers season opener against the Salt Lake City Stars in El Segundo."

Bronny James has been assigned to the Los Angeles Lakers’ G League affiliate, putting him on the roster in time for its season opener.
