Bronny James, son of basketball legend LeBron James, is navigating the complexities of his rookie season in the NBA with the Los Angeles Lakers. Drafted 55th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft after spending a year at USC, the young guard has displayed both flashes of brilliance and moments of struggle in his journey to establish himself on the grand stage.
However, fresh off his G-League season, he won’t be able to help out his teammates in the NBA immediately as a recent illness has ruled him out of the Lakers’ matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This development is especially unfortunate, as James may have had the chance to receive extended minutes in a game where multiple rotation players could be sidelined.

With the G League season now concluded, James had returned to the Lakers for the remainder of the year. However, things might change towards the end.
