After four moments of a match played between the greats, Bronny James will have the opportunity to “cut his teeth” in the G League in the coming months. As already widely expected and announced since last month, the Los Angeles Lakers have decided to assign it to the South Bay Lakersthe G League affiliate with which he is expected to do his debut Saturday at home against Salt Lake City. Months of “shuttling” await LeBron’s son: on Friday he will be on the bench with the yellow and purple for the home game against the Philadelphia 76ers, but later will take part in the South Bay home games so he can continue his development path in real matches and not just in training. “The plan for Bronny has always been to go back and forth between the Lakers and the South Bay” coach JJ Redick said at the beginning of the regular season, for a practice that must not result in a failure: of the 28 players chosen in the second round in the 2023 draft, as many as 23 played in the NBA’s affiliate league.
