Bronny James to play only home games with G League's South Bay Lakers

Bronny James, guard for the Los Angeles Lakers, will only participate in home games with the G League's South Bay Lakers. He will not travel for road games, marking a unique arrangement for a player on a full-time contract. This decision means James will have a "part-time" role in the G League, which is uncommon for players at this level. Typically, even those managing injuries or age still travel with their teams. James' debut with South Bay was modest, scoring six points and recording several turnovers. This limited participation may reduce his opportunities for development as he prepares for a potential NBA career.
