Lakers send Bronny James to G League to aid development after road trip

The Los Angeles Lakers have sent Bronny James to the G League after a five-game road trip. The team's plan includes having him attend home games while playing for the South Bay Lakers during away games, which has sparked controversy. ESPN's Brian Windhorst noted that while favoritism may be present, the real concern is whether this approach benefits Bronny's development. He argues that playing limited minutes in the NBA may hinder Bronny's growth compared to starting games in the G League. Windhorst emphasizes that development is crucial for young players. He suggests that Bronny would gain more experience and skills by playing regularly in the G League rather than sitting on the NBA bench.
