Bronny James and the Lakers continued their preseason schedule against the Suns on Sunday.
The rookie guard made his Los Angeles debut Friday in a loss to the Timberwolves. James only scored two points in 16 minutes of action, but he added three blocks to go with one rebound and one assist on 1-for-6 shooting from the field.
The 20-year-old didn’t get the opportunity to suit up with his father, LeBron, who sat out in the preseason opener. The duo finally made their debut together against Phoenix, becoming the first father-son tandem to play in an NBA game.
The Jugo Mobile had you covered with live updates and highlights from Bronny’s second preseason game below.

Bronny James highlights in Lakers vs. Suns

The two didn’t remain on the court together for very long, though. Bronny struggled on the offensive end, coughing up three turnovers in his first four minutes of action. He also missed his only shot attempt.
Before the game, Lakers head coach JJ Redick said the moment would happen “in the flow of the game” and that it wouldn’t be “gimmicky,” per ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne.
Redick upheld that statement, allowing Bronny and LeBron to share that moment before pulling the younger James after a tough stint on the court.
Bronny got another chance and played nine minutes in the second half but the rookie guard still failed to make an impact
He didn’t attempt another shot after his first stint, turned the ball over one more time and only collected one more rebound for the box score.
Bronny and LeBron sharing the court was a cool moment, but it was a game to forget for LeBron’s newest teammate.
The Lakers lost to the Suns, 118-114, to fall to 0-2 in the preseason.
