The Lakers assigned rookie guard Bronny James to their South Bay Lakers affiliate Thursday, clearing the way for the 20-year-old to make his NBA G League debut Saturday night in El Segundo.
James, the son of Lakers’ star LeBron James, appeared in four games with the Lakers, including a moment on the floor together with his father in the season opener. On the Lakers’ recent trip, Bronny scored his first NBA points to a huge ovation in Cleveland.
Second-year Lakers Jalen Hood-Schifino and Maxwell Lewis have been with the South Bay Lakers throughout their training camp.
