Bronny James headed to G League after dismal start to Lakers season

Bronny James is headed east to California’s Coachella Valley, as the Lakers have assigned the third-year player to its G League affiliate.

The team announced the move Thursday, and the 22-year-old, along with teammate Cameron Carr, will suit up for the Coachella Valley Lakers, which begin their season on Friday. This follows the Los Angeles Lakers’ 116-103 win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.

James barely factored into the game, logging a single minute. Early on, he hasn’t been able to crack regular minutes this season.

Through nine games, James has had cameos in five contests with averages of 2.4 minutes and 0.8 points per game. His most recent productive effort came against the Heat when he chipped in two points and a block in a single minute of play.
