With some limited NBA action and a full G League game under his belt, the first season of Bronny James’ professional career continued Sunday evening.
James, who will reportedly only be playing in home G League games and continue traveling with the Los Angeles Lakers, joined the rest of the South Bay Lakers in their matchup against the Stockton Kings.
The 20-year-old rookie was officially assigned to the G League by the Lakers on Sunday afternoon, setting the stage for his second full game in the league. In his first contest with South Bay, James totaled six points, four assists, three rebounds, two steals, and one block in just over 31 minutes of action. South Bay won that game over Salt Lake City, 110-96.
