Lakers G Bronny James heading to play for South Bay Lakers in the G-League

Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James has been designated by the team for assignment with its G-League affiliate, South Bay Lakers.

Less than 48 hours after father LeBron James made his season debut against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, in a 140-126 victory, Bronny has been sent back to the G-League. Father and son got one more game together and combined for 14 points against the Jazz. The elder James missed the first 14 games of the 2025-26 campaign while he was dealing with his sciatica.

Bronny has played in 10 of the Lakers’ first 15 games this season and even started one. His minutes have nearly doubled in year two, averaging 11.1 minutes per game while averaging 2.1 points and 1.8 assists.

LeBron practiced with the South Bay Lakers on his ramp-up road to making his season debut on Tuesday night. Now, Bronny will essentially replace his father with the G-League squad, although he’ll get a lot more run while there. In 11 G-League appearances last season, James averaged 21.9 points, 5.5 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game.
