The Los Angeles Lakers are chugging along nicely to start the 2024-25 season, posting a 10-6 record with Thanksgiving right around the corner. Predictably absent from the court for much of the opening season stretch has been Bronny James, the son of LeBron who the Lakers drafted with the 55th pick in the 2024 NBA draft. After he got his moment in the sun with his father on opening night the 20-year-old guard has played a grand total of 12 minutes and 26 seconds; his only chance for serious playing time will come in the G-League.
However, the Lakers have a strange plan for Bronny in the lower level. After the season kicked off for the South Bay Lakers reports emerged the younger James would only be playing in home games when it comes to the G-League. It's an odd decision and one Charles Barkley takes great issue with.
