Bronny James started for the Lakers on Saturday in Milwaukee as Los Angeles concluded their lengthy five-game road trip. The Lakers were without Rui Hachimura, Marcus Smart, and James’s father, LeBron, who is continuing his ramp-up for his season debut.
LeBron didn’t join the Lakers for the road trip as he’s missed the first 14 games of the season due to sciatica. He was assigned to L.A.’s G League affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, while the team was on the road so he could gain some five-on-five practice action and prepare to debut in his 23rd NBA season once the Lakers return home.
