It’s a decision that was expected from the Lakers: after the emotion and this piece of history that they wrote together, LeBron James and his son Bronny (20 years old) will no longer live together on a daily basis within the first team of the Los Angeles franchise. According to information from ESPN, the latter will continue his season in the G-League, the antechamber of the NBA, where he will be able to cut his teeth.
The American media specifies that after taking part in the Lakers’ last game, during which he scored two points against the Memphis Grizzlies on the night of November 7, Bronny James will “start shuttling between the active team and the G League affiliate team, the South Bay Lakers. “But coach JJ Redick said those plans could change,” the media said. The G-League is the minor league in which NBA franchises accustom their reserve teams to the high-level environment.
After making NBA history by becoming the first father-son duo to play together on the court, LeBron and Bronny James should therefore be a less recurring duo during this season. “Having Bronny alternate between the NBA and the G-League was the plan from the start,” JJ Redick said. We talked about it with LeBron and with Rob Pelinka (Editor’s note: the general manager of the Lakers). Our plans are always fluid and based on real time. »
