Bronny James will start his first career NBA game for the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 18-year-old rookie will replace the team’s regular starters, including LeBron James and Luka Doncic, who are resting due to the playoffs.
James had a successful G League season with the South Bay Lakers, averaging 21.9 points, 5.4 assists, and 5.2 rebounds per game. His performance has given fans hope that he can find a place in the NBA despite being drafted late in the second round.
The matchup against the Blazers will be an important test for James as he tries to make the most of his limited playing time in the regular season. The Lakers aim to make a deep postseason run and are determined to keep their rotation intact, making this game one of James’ final chances to shine before the playoffs begin.
