Bronny James to play only home games for South Bay Lakers this season

yardbarker.com — November 14, 2024 at 03:01 PM UTC

Bronny James, drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers, may only play in home games for the South Bay Lakers this season. This decision limits his experience compared to typical G League players who travel for road games. Analysts suggest this arrangement may hinder Bronny's development. He has struggled in his early NBA appearances, averaging just 0.7 points in limited minutes. His G League debut saw him score six points, indicating a need for more playing time. Critics argue that Bronny's special treatment reflects nepotism and could stunt his growth as a player. They believe he would benefit from a full G League season without preferential treatment to gain valuable experience.
