The Los Angeles Lakers drafted Bronny James in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft knowing that he was going to spend the majority of this time in the G League. He still has to develop his overall skills before he's ready to make an impact on an NBA roster.

James has been making his mark in the G League, averaging 13.6 points, 3.7 assists, and 1.5 steals in eight games for the South Bay Lakers. His time in Orlando's showcase last week was also special, as he averaged 11 points, four rebounds, and six assists.

Following their Christmas Day victory, the Lakers have made a decision on Bronny James. With the South Bay Lakers in Cleveland for two games, James has been assigned to the G League. This decision comes after the Lakers recently reversed course on their plan to have James only appear in G League home games.
