Bronny James is slowly coming to terms with top level hooping it seems. After making history sharing the court with his legendary father, Bronny James is back to work at the G League. As per his arrangement with the Lakers, James will only feature in the home games of the G League affiliate. Thus, making his third appearance for the South Bay Lakers, the 20-year-old had a blast on the court.
Showing glimpses of his incredible basketball prowess, James recorded a career-high score of 16 points. His super performance also propelled the South Bay Lakers to get the better of the San Diego Clipper 119-111. Along with his impressive career-best figures, James also had four rebounds and two assists to show off. He shot 0/4 from the arc while converting 6/15 from the field.
