Los Angeles Lakers rookie Bronny James, son of NBA superstar LeBron James, made his debut in the NBA Summer League. Despite shooting 2-for-9 from the field and missing all three of his three-point attempts, James showed flashes of potential with four points, two assists, two rebounds, and a steal in 21 minutes of play. While LeBron couldn't attend the game due to Olympic preparations, he closely followed his son's performance and praised his efforts. The father-son duo made history as the first pair to play in the NBA at the same time. Although the Lakers suffered a loss to the Kings, with Bronny's defensive skills shining through, James demonstrated promise for the future. With veterans like Blake Hinson leading the team in scoring, the Lakers look forward to a successful season ahead.
