The Los Angeles Lakers announced on Friday that rookie second-round pick Bronny James was examined by team doctors for a left heel contusion. The Lakers added that the contusion is healing but Bronny will be re-evaluated in one week.
James hasn’t appeared in a game since Nov. 10 against the Toronto Raptors but has made two G League appearances for the South Bay Lakers. In those two contests, Bronny is averaging 5.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks.
Bronny, of course, is the son of Lakers superstar LeBron James with the duo making NBA history as the first father-son duo to play together in an NBA game.
