Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Bronny James will play in the G League for the South Bay Lakers, which is the correct decision for all involved. This is not a punishment but rather the right path for a young player who only recently turned 20 years old and did not have extensive success in the NCAA.

Bronny James’ NBA career has officially begun. He took the court with four minutes left in the second quarter alongside his father, LeBron James, becoming the first father-son duo to play a regular season NBA game together during the Lakers’ 110-103 season-opening win over the Timberwolves on Tuesday night at Crypto.

Bronny James made his NBA debut on opening night for the Lakers vs. the Timberwolves, taking the floor alongside his dad, LeBron.
