Bronny James receives special treatment in G League with limited home game schedule

sportingnews.com

Bronny James will have a unique experience in the NBA G League, receiving "special treatment" as the son of Lakers star LeBron James. He is expected to play only in home games for the South Bay Lakers and will not travel for road games. This arrangement marks a departure from typical rookie assignments. ESPN's Brian Windhorst noted that Bronny's limited participation may not benefit his development or the team, as he will primarily play at home in El Segundo, California. The South Bay Lakers' schedule includes five home games in November, with no travel outside California. Bronny's availability for upcoming games will clarify how this special treatment affects his playing time.
