Lakers Sideline Bronny James Ahead Summer League Opener vs Warriors
The Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Lakers kicked off their NBA Summer League campaigns in the California Classic, but several anticipated rookie debuts were delayed. Warriors rookies Alex Toohey and Will Richard, both recent draft acquisitions, were unable to play due to pending officialization of their trades. On the Lakers' side, Bronny James, who had a strong G League season after limited NBA play, was surprisingly held out of the opener against Golden State, drawing criticism from fans who hoped to see him gain more reps. The Lakers’ starting lineup instead featured Dalton Knecht and other young prospects, while James’ absence remains unexplained. Both teams' Summer League rosters feature notable new and returning talents, setting the stage for further evaluation in upcoming games. The Lakers, who made headlines with a blockbuster trade for Luka Doncic, enter the season with heightened expectations alongside LeBron James.
