Bronny James is set to spend some time in the NBA G League.
After appearing in four NBA games, James was assigned to the South Bay Lakers, LA’s G League affiliate. In the G League, James will be expected to see an expanded role for an opportunity to continue his development into a rotational player in the NBA.
