After an extremely disappointing loss to a depleted Philadelphia 76ers team on Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers looked to right those wrongs against the Washington Wizards. Both of these contests featured Bronny James seeing extended run since Opening Night.
Unfortunately, the rookie saw the assignment of Tyrese Maxey against Philadelphia, who was scoring at will. As expected, Bronny was not successful in containing the 76ers star, but that is the case for a majority of first-year players.
However, the 20-year-old got another opportunity against Washington with L.A. up big in the fourth quarter. Bronny scored a tough and-one, resulting in an eruption of support from the bench.
