Bronny James Scoring Struggles: A Tough Shooting Night Kicks Off His Second Season with the Lakers

Bronny James is experiencing a challenging beginning to his second season in the professional basketball arena. The Lakers faced the Suns on Friday evening, suffering a 103-81 defeat in their preseason debut, where LeBron's son managed only eight points, shooting poorly at 1-for-12, including a dismal 1-for-8 from beyond the arc.In his 24 minutes of play, Bronny recorded a minus-12 rating, contributing two assists and five rebounds. Reflecting on his performance, he mentioned, “I felt like they were pretty good shots... Wasn’t rushed, wasn’t forcing anything. I didn’t have my legs under me as much as I wanted to, so a lot of them were short.”As he turns 21 on Monday, Bronny is poised to improve after a lackluster first NBA season marred by recovery from a cardiac event. Despite last season's difficulties, he showcased his potential with the G League, where he surprisingly averaged 21.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists.
