Bronny James Headed Back To G League As Lakers Reset His Development Track

Just days after LeBron James made his notable debut for the 2025–26 season, the Los Angeles Lakers opted to assign Bronny James to the G League's South Bay Lakers on Thursday. LeBron had been playing for the South Bay squad while recuperating from a sciatica nerve injury, and now his son is stepping into that same role. Currently, Bronny has participated in ten games, averaging 11.1 minutes, accumulating 2.1 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists. His development in this second NBA season is evident. Nonetheless, to accommodate his father's ongoing 23rd NBA season, roster adjustments were necessary. During his inaugural season, Bronny showcased impressive statistics in the G League, posting 18.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists; however, he has yet to replicate that intensity in the NBA. Recently, LeBron shared that his son moved out of their home this year, which aligns with the roster update. For now, they won't share the court or home.
