Bronny’s second Summer League campaign comes on the heels of a rookie season in which he appeared in 27 games for the Los Angeles Lakers, including one start. He averaged 2.3 points per game while spending the majority of his time developing with the South Bay Lakers in the G League.

The Los Angeles Lakers returned to Summer League action on Sunday with their highly anticipated matchup against the Miami Heat, and all eyes were on Bronny James as he made his 2025 Summer League debut. After sitting out Saturday’s opener against the Golden State Warriors, James stepped into the lineup looking to make an early impact.

The son of four-time NBA champion LeBron James performed well in the G-League but struggled to make an impact in the big leagues. The USC product averaged 2.3 points, 0.8 assists, and 0.7 rebounds per game in 27 regular season contests, shooting 31.3% from the field and 28.1% from three-point land.
