Bronny James Assigned to G League Again by Lakers
- The Los Angeles Lakers announced Thursday that Bronny James and rookie Cameron Carr have been assigned to the Coachella Valley Lakers, their G League affiliate, ahead of the team's season opener Friday in Palm Desert.
- Under coach JJ Redick, James has struggled to earn consistent minutes, appearing in just five games for 12 total minutes this season. The Lakers' backcourt depth—featuring Austin Reaves, Collin Sexton, Luka Doncic, and Quentin Grimes—leaves little rotation opportunity for him.
- During previous G League stints, James averaged 18.4 points on 49.6 percent shooting. This season he averages just 0.8 points and 2.4 minutes per game, his first without father LeBron James, now playing for the Philadelphia 76ers.
- The assignment provides James meaningful playing time with the Coachella Valley Lakers, formerly the South Bay Lakers. The team opens at Acrisure Arena on Friday against the Salt Lake City Stars.
- Remaining on the Lakers' NBA roster, the 22-year-old seeks to rediscover the scoring ability he demonstrated when selected 55th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft during his third professional season.
