No surprises. Los Angeles Lakers have assigned Bronny James to their G League affiliate team, the South Bay Lakers, and the player is expected to make his debut in the competition this upcoming Saturday in Salt Lake City.
Thus, the plan that the Lakers have devised alongside his father LeBron James and his agent Rich Paul (Klutch Sports) is for him to play home games with South Bay while alternating call-ups with the Lakers. This was something that was planned when he was selected at the tail end of the last draft.
Up to now, Bronny's participation has been extremely limited. He averages 3.2 minutes and 1 point per game in the 8 regular-season games that the Lakers have played (he has basically played in 3 of them, with 2 minutes in the debut against the Wolves and then 5 minutes in clear defeats against the Cavs and Grizzlies).
We witnessed the historic moment of seeing him play with his father. Then his first basket. Now, back to the reality that awaits him due to his quality: the G League.
