This Tuesday, Bronny James not only signed a guaranteed contract with the Lakers but he also participated in his first official press conference in the colors of the Los Angeles franchise. What do we remember? That Bronny will play in the California Classic Summer League in a few days.
We were asking ourselves the question a few days ago: “When will Bronny James make his debut with the Lakers?” Now we know.

As Dave McMenamin ofESPNpresent at the press conference, Bronny and the other rookie Dalton Knecht will both participate in the California Classic Summer League, scheduled for July 6 to 10. The Lakers will face the Kings (July 6), the Warriors (July 7) and the Heat (July 10). The two newcomers of the Lakers will then represent the Purple & Gold colors during the Summer League in Las Vegas (starting July 12). They will not be coached by JJ Redick but by Dane Johnson (coach of the South Bay Lakers in the G League).
So there are only a few days left to wait before seeing Bronny wear the Lakers uniform for the first time. A moment that is bound to be special, and which will undoubtedly take place under the eyes of dad LeBron.
