Bronny James debuted for the G League South Bay Lakers in front of a sold-out crowd, including his father LeBron James and teammate Anthony Davis. Despite the excitement, Bronny had a modest performance, scoring six points with four assists and three rebounds in a 110-96 victory over the Salt Lake City Stars.

The Lakers plan to have Bronny primarily play at home for South Bay while also joining the Los Angeles Lakers during road games, emphasizing a long-term development strategy.
