Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Bronny James will suit up in the G League for the South Bay Lakers, which was not unexpected. After sharing the court with his father LeBron on Opening Night and then later scoring his first basket in the NBA, the 20-year-old will also play in the developmental league with the Lakers’ G League affiliate.

Bronny James has been assigned to the Los Angeles Lakers’ G League affiliate, putting him on the roster in time for its season opener.

On Friday night, LeBron James will play his first game of the season without his son by his side. The Los Angeles Lakers assigned Bronny James to the team’s G League South Bay Lakers squad on Thursday.
