According to a new announcement, Los Angeles Lakers guard Bronny James will only play in home games in the G-League.

The Lakers drafting Bronny James was always going to become a sideshow for Los Angeles this season when it came to LeBron, but new information about Bronny’s G League assignment is beyond the pale. ESPN’s Brian Windhorst reports that the Lakers rookie is getting phenomenal star treatment during his time with the South Bay Lakers of the G League.

Fresh off making his G League debut with the South Bay Lakers on Saturday night, Bronny James is only going to be a part-time player for the club

Bronny James remains a divisive figure in the NBA. Despite finishing his first season at USC with an average 4.8 points, 2.8 total rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 0.8 steals per game across 25 games, Bronny James was selected with the 55th overall pick by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft.

Bronny James is getting more special treatment from the Lakers. LeBron’s eldest son, whom the Lakers took late in the second round of this year’s NBA draft, will only be playing in G League home games and won’t be getting on commercial flights for the South Bay Lakers’ road contests,

Bronny James' NBA G League experience will be much different from that of a typical NBA rookie on assignment. As the son — and teammate — of Lakers superstar LeBron James, Bronny James is already far from the normal NBA rookie.

Brian Windhorst hasn't minded how the Los Angeles Lakers have handled Bronny James until a recent move. The rookie played in five games for the Lakers, beginning the season by sharing the court with LeBron to become the first father-son teammates in NBA history.
