Bronny James, the guard for the Los Angeles Lakers and son of NBA icon LeBron James, is set to make his second career start. This important game against the Milwaukee Bucks will take place on Saturday night.
Bronny James’ Rising Profile
In the early part of the current season, Bronny has been on the court for an average of 12.1 minutes per game. However, his scoring has not yet matched his time on the floor, as he reports an average of just 2.3 points per game. His shooting percentage sits at 29.2 percent, reflecting the challenges he has faced this season.
Recent Game Performance
- Scored 9 points on 4-of-6 shooting in a recent loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
- In a previous game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, he failed to score, missing all four shot attempts.
- In his first career start last season, he scored 4 points with six assists and four steals.
Injury Challenges for the Lakers
The Lakers have been grappling with several injuries among key players. Notable absences include LeBron James, Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and Gabe Vincent. As a result, Bronny and forward Jake LaRavia have stepped into starting roles for the game against the Bucks, filling gaps left by Hachimura and Marcus Smart.
Lakers’ Current Standing
Despite the injury struggles, the Lakers maintain a competitive position in the league. Currently, they are sitting fourth in the Western Conference with a 9-4 record.
