The Los Angeles Lakers had a lot of injuries on Thursday night and relied on rookie Bronny James to have the best night of his NBA career so far.
Lakers head coach JJ Redick relied on the second-round pick for nearly 30 minutes of action against the Bucks. He finished the game with 17 points (7-of-10 FG), 5 assists, 3 rebounds, and 1 block. It was without a doubt the best game of his NBA career thus far.
But it was also a relatively historic accomplishment for the former USC guard. He immediately joined the history books next to Magic Johnson, which is no easy task.
