Bronny James, son of NBA legend LeBron James, has been assigned to the South Bay Lakers, the G League affiliate of the Los Angeles Lakers, to further develop his skills. This move was anticipated as part of a plan for him to split his time between the G League and the NBA, playing home games for South Bay and being available for the Lakers during their road games. Bronny's G League debut is highly anticipated, with tickets for the game against the Salt Lake City Stars selling out quickly. Despite a quiet start in the NBA, where he played only limited minutes, the G League will provide him with more playing time and development opportunities. The Lakers see this assignment as a crucial step in Bronny's growth, aligning with the traditional path for late-second-round picks to hone their skills in the G League.
