Bronny James, the son of National Basketball Association (NBA) superstar LeBron James, gives a candid opinion about his debut with the Los Angeles Lakers G-League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers

It has always been expected that Bronny James would spend a decent amount of time in the G League with the Los Angeles Lakers’ affiliate, the South Bay Lakers. Now with the G League season set to begin, Bronny will be making his debut on Saturday night when South Bay hosts the Salt Lake City Stars.

The Lakers defeated the Stars 110-96, and their two main stars were Maxwell Lewis and Quincy Olivari. Lewis, a second-round draft pick in 2023, started at the 4 spot and delivered 27 points on 10-of-18 overall shooting and 5-of-8 shooting from downtown. He also added five rebounds and came up with two steals and tow blocked shots.

James made two of his nine shot attempts, missing all four of his 3-point looks. He went 1-for-1 at the free throw line.

Bronny James’ G-League debut with the South Bay Lakers showcases his potential and puts him in the spotlight. Could this be his first step toward the NBA?

From one Lakers rookie guard to another, Quincy Olivari says he's happy for the opportunity Bronny James is getting in the G League.
