Bronny James completed his first season in the 2024-2025 NBA G League with the Los Angeles Lakers on a two-way contract, primarily playing for the South Bay affiliate team. While receiving sporadic call-ups to the NBA, he concludes his season without participating in the Lakers' postseason games.
USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt assessed James' rookie year positively, noting the progress and potential he displayed amidst significant scrutiny and attention. Despite facing external pressures, including public disputes involving his father, James has demonstrated his worth as a G League player and shows promise in evolving into a consistent NBA contributor.
Although he won't partake in the Lakers' playoff run, James aims to carve out a more significant role within the team as he continues to develop in the league.
