Bronny James is making waves in the G League once again.
The Los Angeles Lakers announced earlier this week that LeBron's son would be suiting up for the South Bay Lakers over the weekend, setting the stage for back-to-back matchups against the Texas Legends.
South Bay emerged victorious in both contests, with Bronny showing marked improvement in the second game.
In Saturday's 104-99 triumph over the Legends, Bronny put up some solid numbers:
- 17 points
- 7 rebounds
- 3 assists
- 4 turnovers
- 1 steal
- 1 block
- Shooting 7-14 from the field
- 3-7 from beyond the arc
While the turnovers are a concern, suggesting that Bronny still has room to grow as a playmaker, his shooting efficiency was impressive. Hitting 50% from the floor and 42% from three-point range is a promising sign for the young guard.
Drew Timme led the charge for South Bay with 24 points, and RJ Davis chipped in 23. Bronny logged 34 minutes, showcasing his skills in a tighter game after the previous night’s blowout win. South Bay leaned on its top players, including Bronny, during crunch time to secure the victory.
As for what’s next, Bronny could soon make his way back to the NBA, but another stint in the G League remains a possibility. For now, he’s making the most of his opportunities, and this weekend was a testament to his growing potential.
