Through the Lakers first 11 games of the 2024-25 season, rookie Bronny James has seen limited action. James, who made history earlier this season alongside his superstar father, LeBron James, as the first father-son duo to play in an NBA game, has appeared in five of Los Angeles' contests. The younger James is set to continue splitting time between the G League and the NBA, so he could be playing in either league on any given night.
The 20-year-old has one game under his belt so far with the South Bay Lakers. Where will James be available on Friday — for the Lakers against Spurs in San Antonio, or in the South Bay Lakers' road matchup against the Santa Cruz Warriors? Here are the latest updates on James' assignment. MORE: LeBron James breaks more records with triple-double vs.
Grizzlies Is Bronny James playing tonight? Barring a late decision by the Lakers to assign him to the G League, James looks likely to be available for Los Angeles' squad on Friday night against the Spurs. His last appearance came on Sunday against the Raptors when he totaled two minutes of game action. James has played in just one G League game so far, which came last Saturday in a home matchup against the Salt Lake City Stars.
However, per The Athletic , James is set to only play in G League games when they're at home, meaning he wouldn't travel with the South Bay Lakers at all this season. Because the South Bay Lakers are playing on the road against Santa Cruz on Friday, it's unlikely James would be a late addition to the squad. Although the decision to hold James to only home G League games could limit his overall playing time in the 2024-25 season, the rookie appears likely to travel with Los Angeles much more often than South Bay this season.
