Los Angeles Lakers assign Bronny James to G-League: Report

The Los Angeles Lakers will send guard Bronny James to their G-League affiliate beginning Saturday, according to ESPN.

James will join the South Bay Lakers after he stays with the NBA’s Lakers through their game Friday, according to the report. Once he joins the G-League Lakers, the plan is for James to appear only in home games as he splits his time between the two teams.

A second-round pick in July’s NBA draft, James — the son of superstar LeBron James — has appeared in only four games for the Lakers this season. In 13 minutes total, he has four points, two assists and one rebound. He has made only one of his six field-goal attempts.

during Los Angeles’ first game of the season, appearing alongside each other for three minutes in a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. They became the first father-son duo to play together in NBA history but haven’t appeared on the floor together since.

Bronny, 20, played one year at Southern Cal before the Lakers drafted him with the 55th pick in the 2024 draft.

After a 3-0 start, Los Angeles has lost four of its last five — all on the road — to drop to 4-4. In a loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, LeBron, who turns 40 in December, scored a season-high 39 points.

The Lakers will face the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday.
