Bronny James Is Good Enough to Play for Lakers ‘Right Now,’ Says LeBron James

It’s been a frustrating past several weeks for LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, as they have endured a recent rough patch that has knocked the team down to the No. 11 seed in the NBA’s Western Conference. 

James, who could best be described as frustrated during a Friday media session after the Lakers’ fourth straight loss, lightened up for a moment when teammate Austin Reaves asked him about his son Bronny’s upcoming game for USC against Stanford on Saturday. 

When asked by Reaves whether Bronny would be starting for the Trojans, James responded confidently that he believed it was “time,” declaring that his son “could play for us right now,” per Claire de Lune of The Guardian on X, formerly Twitter.
