Lakers Assign Bronny James To South Bay G-League Team After Playing Four Games In NBA

Bronny James is getting sent to the G League with reports claiming the NBA rookie will now split time with the Lakers and their developmental affiliate. Bronny will make his debut with South Bay on Saturday against Salt Lake City but will also be with the big dogs for Friday's home matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. The plan, according to Shams, is to only have Bronny suit up for South Bay's home games and his minutes will be managed by both organizations. Bronny made his NBA debut alongside his pops on opening night and scored his first points against his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers. Through four appearances, he's averaging 3.2 minutes, 1 point, 0.2 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.2 assists a game Lakers head coach JJ Redick said prior to the season it would be the likely move after the NBA campaign kicked off.
