LeBron James has long dreamed of sharing the court with his son, Bronny James. This dream took a significant step forward when the Golden State Warriors were poised to draft Bronny as the No. 52 overall pick. However, the Warriors ultimately paved the way for the Los Angeles Lakers to select LeBron’s son at No. 55.
In addition to drafting Bronny, the Lakers also signed LeBron to a two-year deal this offseason, allowing them to play together. After missing the Lakers’ first preseason game, LeBron made his debut alongside Bronny in the second preseason game against the Phoenix Suns in Palm Desert, California.
This historic matchup was the first time an active father-son duo played together in the NBA. LeBron started the game, while Bronny entered during the second quarter.
Unfortunately, their first game together did not go as they had hoped, as the Lakers fell to the Suns, 114-118, making them 0-2 in preseason play. LeBron finished with 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Bronny recorded 0 points, 2 rebounds, and no assists.
