The Los Angeles Lakers have assigned rookie guard Bronny James to the NBA G League, according to a report from HoopsHype on Thursday. The move allows the 20-year-old son of LeBron James to gain additional playing time and development experience with the Lakers' G League affiliate.
James, selected 55th overall in the 2024 NBA Draft, has appeared in limited minutes for Los Angeles this season. The assignment is a standard developmental step for young players seeking more consistent court time.
