It didn’t take long for LeBron James to enjoy playing alongside his son, Bronny James, as the Los Angeles Lakers have decided to give him another destination for his present as a professional player.

This is how the legendary American basketball player LeBron James sees his son Bronny James leave the Lakers to improve his game and due to the lack of minutes he has had in the first games of the 2024 NBA season.

Thus, the Los Angeles Lakers have decided that Bronny James, son of their star LeBron James, will join the ranks of South Bay, their G League development league team, where the Mexican team Capitanes also competes, according to ESPN.
Bronny James, the 20-year-old rookie, will remain on the Lakers’ roster until Friday, when the Los Angeles team will face the Philadelphia 76ers, and will join South Bay on Saturday.
Bronny could make his debut with the G League team in the game scheduled for that same Saturday against Salt Lake City. He did so after making NBA history by becoming the first father-son duo to debut in a regular season game alongside LeBron James.

LeBron and the Lakers have already said that Bronny will spend a lot of time this season with their G League affiliate while he works on his game.
In this way, Bronny James has had little prominence in this start of the season, in which he played four games and scored four points in total.
It should be remembered that Bronny James survived a cardiac arrest in the summer of 2023 and played very little during his only season of college basketball at Southern California before declaring for the draft last summer. Los Angeles selected him at the end of the second round.
Bronny James’ new team, the South Bay Lakers, play their home games at the Lakers’ training complex in El Segundo.
