  5D ago • By RotoWire

  The Lakers recalled James from the G League's South Bay Lakers on Sunday, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. James' G League debut didn't go as well as hoped. He posted six points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 31 minutes Saturday in South Bay's 110-96 win over the Salt Lake City Stars. James isn't on a two-way deal, but he's expected to get plenty of looks in the G League to develop and stay sharp, as he's not part of the NBA rotation.

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  The Lakers assigned James to the South Bay Lakers on Thursday, and he is expected to make his G League debut Saturday against the Salt Lake City Stars, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. The Lakers will recall James prior to Friday's game versus the 76ers, but he will then be assigned to the G League for Saturday's contest. James is averaging just 1.0 points in 3.3 minutes across three NBA appearances this season, so he should receive increased opportunities in the G League.

• Lakers' Bronny James: Hits for 17 in Friday's start

  27D ago • By RotoWire

  James scored 17 points (7-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) while adding four rebounds, three steals, an assist and a block in 35 minutes during Friday's 132-74 preseason loss to the Warriors. LeBron's son got the start in the Lakers' preseason finale while dad and the rest of the team's regulars got the night off. James put together a decent performance, but the 2024 second-round pick will likely get most of his minutes this season in the G League, although at some point the Lakers will look to make history by having two generations of Jameses on the court at the same time.
