In their season opener, the Los Angeles Lakers made NBA history by featuring the first father-son duo on the court, with LeBron and Bronny James playing together against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Crypto.com Arena.
Though Bronny was on the floor for just three minutes, the Lakers achieved their milestone, even as many expect the young rookie to spend most of his first professional season with the South Bay Lakers in the G League.
Ahead of the Lakers’ second game, Shams Charania from ESPN reported that Bronny James is set to begin his G League journey following the team’s upcoming five-game road trip.
While Bronny James may stay with the Lakers for a bit longer, it’s uncertain if he will actually see the court again for the team before transitioning to become the standout player for the South Bay Lakers.
As the Lakers gear up to face the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse during their upcoming road trip, all eyes will be on whether Bronny gets a chance to play against a franchise that holds significant meaning for his father, who was once its star player, and where Bronny himself was born.
In the interim, the Lakers are focused on securing their second consecutive victory this Friday night when they host Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns at Crypto.com Arena. This matchup promises to be an exciting challenge as the Lakers aim to build momentum and capitalize on their recent performance.
The prospect of Bronny potentially taking the court adds an intriguing layer to the game, drawing attention not only from fans but also from media outlets eager to document this historic father-son connection in action. As the season unfolds, the Lakers will be navigating their strategies while also considering the future development of their young rookie, creating a dynamic storyline for fans to follow.
